The Vitamin G Complex

I. The Non-Identity of Rat Dermatitis Due to Vitamin B₆ Deficiency and the Dermatitis of Human Pellagra

Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina

1. Rat dermatitis appears among rats on a B₆ deficient diet as readily in the dark as in the light, and is therefore not analogous to the dermatitis of human pellagra.

2. One gram of white or yellow maize meal contains at least one ‘curative day-dose’ of vitamin B₆, suggesting that vitamin B₆ is not identical with the pellagra-preventive factor.

3. Preliminary clinical trials with lactoflavin suggest that lactoflavin possesses no pellagra curative activity.
