Biological Significance of Milk Peroxidase: Preliminary Report Concerning a Relation between Vitamin B and Peroxidase

33rd Report of the Peroxidase Reaction

Abstract

My clinical experience made me suspect a close relation between avitaminosis-B and the peroxidase content of human milk. Pregnant rabbits fed on B-avitaminostic food secreted “aperoxidatic” milk, but began to secrete milk which contained peroxidase, when vitamin-B was administered daily. Thus “aperoxidatic” milk may probably be a symptom of avitaminosis-B.
