Abstract

Summary - The influence of milk factors on the bioavailability of non-milk thiamine was assessed using thiamine-deficient young rats. Twenty-eight h dialysed raw cow's milk (3.5% fat) was used as the source of milk factors. Repletion test diets provided were (A) dialysed milk alone (59 119)bound thiamine, (B) dialysed milk (59 119) plus pure thiamine (256 119) or (C) pure thiamine (315 119) as thiamine source, for 21 d. Total hepatic thiamine content, erythrocyte transketolase (ETK) activity and TPP (thiamine pyrophosphate) effect on ETK activity were selected as response criteria. Group B receiving dialysed milk supplemented with pure thiamine had significantly (P 2-fold in the presence of milk factors.
