A Note on the Vitamin B1-Sparing Action of Fat

Daniel Melnick1 and Henry Field, Jr.

Department of Internal Medicine, Medical School, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Chemical analyses have indicated that lard contains no thiamin, justifying the conclusion that the vitamin B1-sparing action of fat cannot be attributed to actual administration of the vitamin but to the decreased metabolic requirements for thiamin when the fat content of the diet is increased.
