Abstract
The authors have reported in the previous paper the autoradiographic distribution of O-acetoglycoloyl-S-furoylthiamine (AFT)-^<35>S and thiamine-^<35>S in whole mice. In the present study, the accumulations of ^<35>S in the organs, such as liver, kidney, brain, muscles (heart and masseter) stomach, glands (submaxillary and harderian) and blood, were investigated after an intravenous injection of AFT-^<35>S and thiamine-^<35>S in rats. In blood, muscles, stomach, and harderian gland, AFT-^<35>S has a superiority over thiamine-^<35>S on affinity to the organs and on maintenance of high ^<35>S valus of the organs.
