Dihydrothiamine was subjected to a coupled peroxidative reaction by catalase and glucose-oxidase system, but the efficiency of the system to produce thiamine was low contrary to our expectation. However, results were obtained which lead to the conclusion that dihydrothiamine was converted to thiamine under physiological condition. It seems to explain the reported thiamine-like activity of dihydrothiamine in animals.
