(1) Electrocardiographic change, heart weight increase, decrease of myocardial thiamine content were comparatively light. (2) Serum potassium content was low. (3) Serum cholesterol content was high. There were no difference in hemoglobin, hematocrit and serum protein between paralytic and non-paralytic rats.
