Abstract
Amount of taurine has increased in urine of rats fed on pantothenic acid-deficient ration. In contrast, it has decreased in pyridoxine-deficient rats. The increase in pantothenic acid-deficient rats might have resulted from hyperfunction of adrenals and the decrease in vitamin B6-deficient rats would be due to lowered activity of cysteinsulfinic acid decarboxylase in liver.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
