White male rabbits were divided into 2 groups, and injected with thiamine or thiaminepropyldisulfide, 2 mg per kilogram respectively. Then the thiamine contents in the blood and the neural tissues were measured following the course of time. Immediately after the intravenous injection, thiamine contents in the blood showed the maximum value and it diminished with the lapse of time thereafter. Generally, the rate of increase of thiamine contents in the neural tissues after the administration was slower than that in the blood. Thiaminepropyldisulfide had a stronger power of increasing thiamine contents in the blood and the neural tissues than thiamine, and the maintenance of high concentration was apparently more pronounced also.
