Effect of thiamin and its derivatives on sheep

Effect of thiamin and its derivatives on sheep. Rush, A. F. (Altai. S-kh. Inst., Barnaul, USSR). Veterinariya (Moscow), (7), 88-9 (Russian) 1977. CODEN: VETNAL. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 18 (Animal Nutrition) Thiamin [59-43-8] and its derivs. thiamin bromide [7019-71-8], cocarboxylase chloride [154-87-0], phosphothiamin [532-40-1], and benphothiamin [22457-89-2] were tested for their effects when given in saline soln. or suspension i.m. to sheep at 0.5-50 mg/kg body wt. Cocarboxylase and phosphothiamin at 0.5 mg/kg were effective in improving heart and digestive tract function and metab. processes; the other 2 derivs. were effective at 5-10 mg/kg, and thiamin was effective at 25 mg/kg. Cocarboxylase at 20-5 mg/kg became toxic.

Effect of thiamin and its derivatives on the blood cholinesterase activity of calves

Effect of thiamin and its derivatives on the blood cholinesterase activity of calves. Rush, A. F. (Altai. S-kh. Inst., Barnaul, USSR). Veterinariya (Moscow), (3), 91-2 (Russian) 1977. CODEN: VETNAL. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 1 (Pharmacodynamics) Thiamine (I) [59-43-8] and its derivs., phosphothiamine [532-40-1], cocarboxylase [154-87-0], and benfotiamine [22457-89-2], at 50 mg/kg injected s.c. into calves decreased blood cholinesterase [9001-08-5] activity. The anticholinesterase activity of I and phosphothiamine tested 7 days, whereas that of the other 2 derivs. was of shorter duration.
