A number of investigators have observed atrophy and degenerative changes in the testes of animals fed on diets deficient in the factor termed Vitamin B. Funk and Douglas (5) reported that the testicles of pigeons showing symptoms of avian polyneuritis were greatly atrophied, and that the tubules were diminished in size and contained no spermatozoa. Drummond (3) observed a similar condition in the testes of adult rats deprived of vitamin B, whilst McCarrison (8) found the atrophy of the male gonads to be very much more severe in pigeons with beri-beri than in monkeys with that disease. Allen examined the testes of rats which had been fed on Osborne and Mendels’ diet deficient in vitamin B, and found considerable derangements, to which further reference will be made in the section on Histology.

Nutritional surveys (food consumption, clinical and biochemichal) were conducted in a small institution for homeless children. Results showed that only 30% of the children presented adequate calorie intake. Most of the children presented adequate protein intake, but almost half consumed less than 2/3 of the calcium RDA considered necessary. Food handling, processing, and distribution also proved inadequate and wastage, high. Skinfold measurement showed up one case of obesity. Furthermore, most of the children presented clinical signs of vitamin A deficiency, mostly skin lesions; while about half presented clinical signs of riboflavin deficiency. Biochemical data showed that 63.6% had deficient plasma levels of vitamin A, none showed abnormal results for riboflavin excretion, four showed packed blood cell volume below normal, and all had normal hemoglobin levels. Stool examinations revealed a high rate of pathogenic protozoa (Hymenolepis nana), in fact, one of the highest in Brazilian literature.

Blood urea levels were determined in weanling, young, and adult C57 and I strain mice fed vitamin B6-deficient or complete rations. Elevations in blood urea were found in some of the deprived groups, but they were transient, and the maxima occurred early in the deficiency, at 2 weeks. Although the I strain is more susceptible to a B6 deficiency, strain differences were found in only one age group. Increases in blood urea were also induced by simple environmental changes. It was concluded that elevations in blood urea are not directly related to a pyridoxine deficiency in these inbred strains of mice.

1. The histological changes of the bone marrow in fasted and rice disease pigeons are essentially the same. 2. The histological changes of the bone marrow in pure vitamin B deficiency consist of degeneration and edema and slight endothelial proliferation of the small vascular channels, but with active hematopoiesis. 3. The anemia of rice disease in pigeons is in large part a starvation anemia and not directly related to vitamin B deficiency.
