Summary

Administration of 100 times the physiological doses of thiamine to pigeons for 20–30 days caused considerable shifts in the lipid metabolism. The total lipid content increases in the liver; microscopically this is manifested in the form of intensified intracellular deposition of fat granules. The phospholipid content in the heart rises with a tendency for accumulation of total lipids. Because of the uneven fat distribution in this organ a comparative microscopic examination gave no definite results. The cholesterol content of the heart and liver did not differ in experimental and control birds.
