The vitamin B1 status among young Egyptians from the oasis in relation to glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
Erythrocyte transketolase activity was assayed and %TPP effect was calculated to define the vitamin B1 status among 63 young boys and girls from the Oasis with normal or G6PD-deficiency. Based on the mean %TPP values; 15.6, 75 and 60% of the studied normal, G6PD-deficient males and females; respectively were deficient in B1.
