Abstract

1. Thiamine propyl disulfide (TPD) is rapidly reduced in blood even at low temperature while it is relatively stable in a metaphosphoric acid-treated solution of blood.2. The content of TPD in the mesenteric venous blood was maximum 1 minute after infusion into a ligated intestine, showing 25% absorption by a method of TPD determination. The value decreased with time.3. The existance of TPD in the mesenteric venous blood was demonstrated bioautographically using a thiamine-less mutant (70-23) of E. coli.
