EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF TRICHLOROETHYLENE UPON THE VITAMIN METABOLISM : (II) EFFECT OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIAMINE PREPARATIONS AT TRICHLOROETHYLENE EXPOSURE

Abstract

In the present experiment observing changes in the body weight and thiamine amount in blood and urine, and histological changes in the liver, it was concluded that the administration of thiamine-HCl, thiamine propyldisulfide and thiamine β-hydroxyethyl disulfide at trichloroethylene exposure acted effectively. Among these preparations, thiamine propyl disulfide was most effective.
