Abstract
The excretion of thiamine may presumably be taken place in the stomach, intestines, salivary glands, sweat glands, etc. in addition to the kidney. In adult rabbit both the renal arteries were ligated and thiamine was given. The fate of the administered thiamine was observed histochemically in different organs. Under the renal insufficiency, a compensatory hyperfunction of other thiamine-excreting organs was observed. The excretion was obviously greater in the small intestine than in the stomach, large intestine, liver, gall bladder and salivary gland.
