title: Postnatal development of thiamine metabolism in rat skeletal muscle.
abstract: 1. The activities of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, transketolase, thiamine pyrophosphokinase and thiamine triphosphatase and the concentrations of thiamine phosphates were almost the same between rat extensor digitorum longus and soleus muscles at 2 weeks of age. 2. These enzyme activities changed after 3 weeks of age in a different way depending on the muscle phenotype. 3. Thiamine diphosphate level and the activity of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase increased only in soleus muscle and thiamine triphosphate level increased only in extensor digitorum longus during development.
