“…As well as the vitamins of the B complex, the enzymes concerned in the metabolism of tryptophan have also been studied. Thus Binazzi and Calandra (1971) supported the view that in pellagra there is an inhibition in the conversion of 3-OH kynurenin to 3-hydroxyanthraliniiic acid due to diminished activity of the kynureninase. Later Calandra (1972) showed also an increase of the activity of tryptophan-pyrolase which catalyses the conversion of tryptophan to kynurenin.…”

“…Earlier investigations have also confirmed dysfunction ofthe gastro-intestinal system. Achlorhydria in pellagra patients has often been observed (Mulholand & King, 1933;Binazzi & Calandra, 1973;Pulantzas, Stratigos & Dosios, 1972).…”

“…In Italy it started to decline at the beginning of the present century and by 1928 less than 100 deaths were reported every year compared to thousands during the 4-year period 1896-1900. Recently Binazzi & Calandra (1973) reported a series of 90 cases from Perugia, of whom 81 were males and only 9 were females. This ratio is similar to that in Greece.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
