Rats were fed either a thiamine-deficient diet of diets containing pyrithiamine or oxythiamine. When symptoms of thiamine deficiency appeared, the animals were injected intraperitoneally with [2-14C] pyruvate six to twelve minutes prior to sacrifice. Free glutamic and aspartic acids were isolated from liver and brain and degraded. The results indicate that, in thiamine-deficient or oxythiamine-treated rats, pyruvate metabolism in liver and brain is similar to that in normal animals. In contrast, pyrithiamine drastically decreases the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate by rat liver.
给大鼠喂食缺乏硫胺素的饮食,或含有吡硫胺素或氧硫胺素的饮食。当出现硫胺素缺乏症状时,在处死动物前6至12分钟,给它们腹腔注射[2-¹⁴C]丙酮酸。从肝脏和大脑中分离出游离的谷氨酸和天冬氨酸并进行降解。结果表明,在硫胺素缺乏或经氧硫胺素处理的大鼠中,肝脏和大脑中的丙酮酸代谢与正常动物相似。相比之下,吡硫胺素会大幅降低大鼠肝脏中丙酮酸的氧化脱羧作用。
