Abstract
The phosphatase activities of liver and kidney homogenates of normal and rachitic rats on esterified thiamine were investigated. As described in the previous paper the thiamine contents in induced rachitic rat liver were considerably lower than those of normal rats. However, it was found that phosphatase activities of liver and kidney on esterified thiamine were no difference between norml rats and rachitic rats. Therefore, this result suggests that the decrease of total thiamine content in the rachitic rat liver may not be influenced by these activities in the tissue.
