The Sparing Action of Thiamine on Body Tissue Catabolism1

Barnett Sure and Maurice Dichek

Department of Agricultural Chemistry, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

The mechanism of such action is not clear from the data submitted; it is suggested that this may be associated with the role thiamine plays in intermediate carbohydrate metabolism.
