The Change of Reticulocyte Count and of Arakawa's Reaction on Administration of Vitamin B in Lactating Mothers

94th Report of the Peroxidase Reaction

Abstract

In my preceding paper¹⁾²⁾ I asserted that mothers with Arakawa-negative milk are already in a state of avitaminosis B. In the present paper I was able to make the reticulocyte count smaller in mothers of negative or weakly Arakawa's reaction by an administration of vitamin B to them, which fact shows again that Arakawa-negative cases are already in a state of B-avitaminosis.
