Abstract
Evidence has been obtained in studies on rats involving both cure of polyneuritis and growth, which shows that an increase in environmental temperature results in a decreased thiamine requirement. It appears that this decrease approximates the decrease in caloric requirement at the elevated temperature. Maintenance of a uniform environmental temperature is essential for precision in performing the rat-curative assay for thiamine.Keywords
