Summary
Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid and blood serum in persons with different diseases in most cases failed to reveal any thiamin dehydrogenase activity. It was only in uremia and, for a time, in hypertensive vascular disease that the blood serum possessed a pronounced ability to activate the dehydrogenation of thiamin in the presence of adrenalin.
