Abstract
Diets deficient in pantothenic acid and pyridoxine produce degeneration of the peripheral nerves, posterior roots, posterior columns of the spinal cord and sensory ganglia in swine. Except for differences in degree the lesions in these 2 deficiency states are alike, being less severe in pyridoxine deficiency. Although these expts. suggest that pantothenic acid and pyridoxine are both essential for normal functioning of the peripheral nervous system, the cause and effect relationship between the specific vitamin defect and the neural lesions is not yet established.
