title: Persistent erection in thiamine-deficient rats.
abstract: Male Wistar rats, maintained on a thiamine-deficient diet, showed a significant weight loss, decrease in heart frequency, disturbance of urinary excretion, and symptoms of polyneuritis. Once persistent erection ocurred in these rats, it continued throughout the study and subsided in most cases after the administration of thiamine HCl.
