## Abstract Thiamine deficiency (TD) in rats produces lesions similar to those found in humans suffering from Wernicke's encephalopathy, an organic mental disorder associated with alcoholism. Male SpragueβDawley rats (__n__ = 29) were deprived of thiamine via a regimen of thiamineβdeficient chow an
A quantitative histochemical method was developed for the demonstration in rat liver of the activity of phosphofructokinase, one of the enzymes assumed to be rate-limiting for glycolysis. The procedure was based on the reduction of a tetrazolium salt as final electron acceptor and a multistep reacti
