Abstract
Canned salmon (Alaska chum) contains the pellagra-preventive factor. By reason of its potency in the P-P factor, and its availability in the preserved state, salmon may be considered a fair substitute for meat in the areas of pellagra endemicity when meat is not readily available. The demonstration of the pellagra-preventive value of canned salmon furnishes further evidence of the soundness of the working hypothesis that blacktongue of dogs is the analogue of pellagra in man.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
