title: [Consequences of the chronic administration of phenformine on the blood thiamine level in the dog].
abstract: The chronic oral administration of phenformin (20 mg/kg daily during 8 days) to the normal concious dog provokes a decrease in the fasting thiamine levels of plasma and erythrocytes. During intragastric loading tests with thiamine hydrochloride (30 mg/kg), carried out during the chronic treatment with the biguanide, the curve of plasma hyperthiaminemia is increased. The authors suggest an explanation for these apparently contradictory results.
