Abstract
Blood and small intestine of thiamine-deficient rats showed reduced levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine while those of the spleen of both starved and deficient animals were elevated. Mitochondrlal monoamine oxidase activity was increased in the brain and small intestine during starvation and B1-deficiency without detectable change in that of the liver, spleen and kidney.Keywords
