BACKGROUND: In ovo injection of nutrients as an early feeding method in birds directly supplies the nu- trients to the developing embryo. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of in ovo injection of nicotonic acid, panto- thenic acid and folic acid on the performance and immune system of broilers. METHODS: </st...

drug-in-adhesive transdermal drug delivery systems  )tddss) containing stimulants, termed as energetic substances, such as caffeine and pantothenic acid, were studied. caffeine is a white crystalline substance and a stimulant to central nervous system. in humans, caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. pantothenic acid, al...

The responses of human subjects to a low pantothenic acid test diet and to the same diet supplemented with 10 mg pantothenic acid daily for 63 days were observed. Pantothenic acid in urine and blood and also nitrogen balance were used as criteria for nutritional evaluation. The mean daily urinary pantothenic acid excretion decreased from 3.05 to 0.79 mg in male adult subjects fed a pantothenic ...

1. Added pantothenic acid was found to have no appreciable effect on the fermentation of glucose when used in conjunction with preparations of dialyzed yeast maceration juice or acetone-precipitated yeast maceration juice. 2. Addition of pantothenic acid failed to affect the rate of phosphorylation of glucose or the rate of decarboxylation of pyruvic acid by yeast maceration juice. 3. Pantothen...

In the previous reports (Ishiguro 1961, Ishiguro et al. 1961) the author has pointed out that the pantothenic acid content in blood of rural inhabitants decreases with age, particularly in females. In the following study (Ishiguro 1962), the author reported that the blood pantothenic acid contents of pregnant women showed the level lower than that of non-pregnant women at the same age groups, a...

It was reported previously that coenzyme A contained pantothenic acid bound in such a manner as to make it unavailable in microbiological tests (1). A liberation of p;alanine on acid hydrolysis indicated early the presence of pantothenic acid, which was confirmed by chick assay (2). While the chick assay for pantothenic acid and the p-alanine assay by the yeast growth test yielded equivalent am...

INTRODUCTION The available immunohistochemical techniques have documented restricted distribution of vitamins in the mammalian brain. The aim of the study was to develop a highly specific antiserum directed against pantothenic acid to explore the presence of this vitamin in the mammalian brain. MATERIAL AND METHODS According to ELISA tests, the anti-pantothenic acid antiserum used showed a go...

ANTOTHENIC ACID DEFICIENCY reduces biologic actylations and leads to a variety of pathologic changes in blood cholesterol partition and antibody production. Deficiency affects particularly the adrenal cortex, nervous system, the skin, and hair; it also affects longevity (1, 2, 3, 4). The ubiquity of pantothenic acid (as suggested by its name), makes it difficult to demonstrate deficiencies, eve...

Lipmann, Kaplan, Novelli, Tuttle, and Guirard (1) reported that, whereas concentrates of the coenzyme required for acetylation (coenzyme A) showed no pantothenic acid activity by the ordinary microbiological assay, considerable amounts of p-alanine were found after acid hydrolysis. From this early observation, it was suspected that the coenzyme might contain combined pantothenic acid which was ...
