Persistent erection in thiamine deficient rats

Glyoxalase and methylglyoxal in thiamine-deficient rats.

Thiamine-deficient Diet in Tourniquet Shock in Rats.

Changes in brain lipid composition in thiamine deficient rats.

Brain lipid composition was studied in thiamine deficient rats treated with thiamine antimetabolites (oxythiamine: OT, and pyrithiamine: PT) and thiamine deficient diet (TDD). After intraperitoneal injection of OT (40 mg/kg/day) or TDD feeding for 6 days, body weight gain decreased. However, the PT (500 micrograms/kg/day) treated rats or the pair fed control (PFC: TDD + thiamine of 5 mg/kg, i.p...

Effect of thiamine on serotonin oxidation in magnesium-deficient rats.

To clarify the effect of thiamine on serotonin-related metabolism in magnesium-deficient rats, in vivo and in vitro experiments were carried out. In thiamine-excess magnesium-deficient and thiamine-adequate magnesium-deficient rats, serotonin oxidation activity in liver and stomach decreased significantly, while a decrease was not observed in thiamine-deficient magnesium-deficient rats. In vitr...

Distribution of alpha-aminoisobutyric-C14 acid in rats deficient in thiamine, pantothenate, fatty acids, or potassium.

A nutritional deficiency of fatty acids in young rats resulted in a marked elevation of the steady-state serum level of an injected dose of ol-aminoisclbutyric acid, and in a decrease in the transport of this model amino acid into skeletal muscle, heart, and intestine. The liver level was greatly increased. Adrenalectomy of the deficient rats reduced the uptake in both liver and kidney. These c...
