Christiaan Eijkman was born on August 11, 1858, at Nijkerk in Gelderland (The Netherlands), the seventh child of Christiaan Eijkman, the headmaster of a local school, and Johanna Alida Pool. A year later, in 1859, the Eijkman family moved to Zaandam, where his father was appointed head of a newly founded school for advanced elementary education. It was here that Christiaan and his brothers received their early education. In 1875, after taking his preliminary examinations, Eijkman became a student at the Military Medical School of the University of Amsterdam , where he was trained as a medical officer for the Netherlands Indies Army, passing through all his examinations with honours. From 1879 to 1881, he was an assistant of T. Place, Professor of Physiology, during which time he wrote his thesis On Polarization of the Nerves , which gained him his doctor's degree, with honours, on July 13, 1883. That same year he left Holland for the Indies, where he was made medical officer of health first in Semarang later at Tjilatjap, a small village on the south coast of Java, and at Padang Sidempoean in W. Sumatra. It was at Tjilatjap that he caught malaria which later so impaired his health that he, in 1885, had to return to Europe on sick-leave.

Associated eponyms: Eijkman's syndrome A complex of nervous symptoms in animals deproved of vitamin B1. Eijkman's test A test to determine whether coliform bacteria come from from warm-blooded animals. Biography: Christiaan Eijkman is famous for his nutritional research. In 1893 he discovered that a diet of polished (overkvernet) rice causes beriberi, and was able to produce the disease experimentally in birds. He discovered vitamin B. Together with Sir Frederick Hopkins from Great Britain, he was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, for his discovery of the antineuritic vitamin. Christiaan Eijkman was the seventh child of Johanna Alida Pool and Christiaan Eijkman, a boarding-school proprietor in the small Gelderland town of Nijkerk, situated at the northern border of the Veluwe region. Eijkman had several gifted brothers. One became a chemist and a professor at Tokyo and Groningen; another was a linguist; and a third was one of the first roentgenologists in the Netherlands. A year later, in 1859, the Eijkman family moved to Zaandam, where his father was appointed head of a newly founded school for advanced elementary education. It was here that Christiaan and his brothers received their early education. In 1875 he passed the examination that enabled him to enter the University of Amsterdam as a student at the Military Medical School, where he was trained as a medical officer for the Netherlands Indies Army. His most important teachers were the professor of physiology, Thomas Place (1842-1910), and Barend Joseph E. Stokvis (1834-1902), professor of general pathology, pharmacodynamics and clinical medicine. As a student, for two years Eijkman was assistant to Thomas Place. His ability soon became apparent; he passed three examinations cum laude or magna cum laude. He qualified as a physician, and on July 31, 1883, he received his medical doctorate after defending a thesis on polarization in the nerves. The costs of his study were defrayed by the government because he enrolled for later service as an army physician.

Eijkman, Christiaan Eijkman By courtesy of the World Health Organization (b. Aug. 11, 1858, Nijkerk, Neth.d. Nov. 5, 1930, Utrecht), Dutch physician and pathologist whose demonstration that beriberi is caused by poor diet led to the discovery of vitamins. Together with Sir Frederick Hopkins , he was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine Eijkman received a medical degree from the University of Amsterdam (1883) and served as a medical officer in the Dutch East Indies (1883-85). He then worked with Robert Koch in Berlin on bacteriological research and in 1886 returned to Java to investigate the cause of beriberi. In 1888 Eijkman was appointed director of the research laboratory for pathological anatomy and bacteriology and of the Javanese Medical School in Batavia (now Jakarta). Eijkman sought a bacterial cause for beriberi. In 1890 polyneuritis broke out among his laboratory chickens. Noticing this disease's striking resemblance to the polyneuritis occurring in beriberi, he was eventually (1897) able to show that the condition was caused by feeding the fowl a diet of polished, rather than unpolished, rice. Eijkman believed that the polyneuritis was caused by a toxic chemical agent, possibly originating from the action of intestinal microorganisms on boiled rice. He maintained this theory even after his successor in Batavia, Gerrit Grijns, demonstrated (1901) that the problem was a nutritional deficiency, later determined to be a lack of vitamin B

Eijkman, Christiaan Christiaan Eijkman est né le 11 août 1858, à Nijkerk dans Gelderland (les Pays-Bas), le septième enfant de Christiaan Eijkman, le directeur d'une école locale et l'Association (bassin) de Johanna Alida. Une année plus tard, en 1859, la famille Eijkman s'est déplacée à Zaandam, où son père a été nommé le chef d'une école nouvellement fondée pour l'éducation élémentaire avancée. C'était là que Christiaan et ses frères a reçu leur première éducation. En 1875, après la prise de ses examens préliminaires, Eijkman est devenu un étudiant à la Faculté de médecine Militaire de l'Université d'Amsterdam, où il a été formé comme un médecin du travail pour l'Armée d'Indépendants des Pays-Bas, passant par tous ses examens avec des honneurs. De 1879 à 1881, il était un aide de T. La place, le Professeur de Physiologie, pendant lequel le temps il a écrit sa thèse A propos de la Polarisation des Nerfs, qui l'ont gagné le degré de son docteur, avec des honneurs, le 13 juillet 1883. Cela la même année il a laissé (quitté) la Hollande pour les Indépendants, où il a été fait le médecin du travail de santé d'abord dans Semarang plus tard à Tjilatjap, un petit village sur la côte du sud de la Java et à Padang Sidempoean dans W. Sumatra. C'était à Tjilatjap qu'il a attrapé la malaria qui plus tard ainsi a détérioré sa santé qu'il, en 1885, a dû retourner en Europe sur le congé de maladie.

Para aclarar el enigma de la vitamina D "...una sustancia diferente de las proteínas y las sales..." Más adelante, Eijkman y su sucesor, Gerrit Grijns, utilizaron agua o etanol para extraer el misterioso factor antineurítico de las cáscaras del arroz. "En la cascarilla del arroz existe una sustancia diferente a las proteínas y las sales," escribieron los dos investigadores en 1906, "que es indispensable para la salud y cuya ausencia produce la polineuritis nutricional." , o tiamina, del salvado del arroz. Poco después del inicio del siguiente siglo, otro investigador también llegó a creer en la existencia de ciertos "factores alimenticios complementarios". El biólogo inglés Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins desarrolló este concepto durante el curso del trabajo que empezó con su descubrimiento del aminoácido triptófano en 1901. Basado en las técnicas desarrolladas durante su investigación, Hopkins pasó a realizar una serie de experimentos, ahora ya clásicos, que demostraron que los alimentos integrales (opuestamente a las formas refinadas de proteínas, grasas y carbohidratos), contienen ciertos componentes desconocidos, esenciales para la salud y el crecimiento.

Mehr als nur eine Methode der Kalziumregulation "..eine Substanz verschieden von Proteinen und Salzen..." Eijkman und sein Nachfolger Gerrit Grijns benutzten später Wasser oder Äthanol, um den mysteriösen anti-neuritischen Faktor aus den Reisschalen zu extrahieren. "Eine Substanz unterschiedlich von Proteinen und Salzen befindet sich in den Polituren von Reis " schrieben die zwei Forscher 1906, "die für die Gesundheit unentbehrlich ist, und dessen Mangel ernährungsbedingte Polyneuritis verursacht". Bald nach der Jahrhundertwende kam ein weiterer Forscher zur Erkenntnis, daß gewisse "zusätzliche Nahrungsfaktoren" existierten. Der englische Biologe Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins entwickelte diese Vorstellung im Verlauf von Studien, die mit seiner Entdeckung der Aminosäure Tryptophan im Jahr 1901 begannen. Aufbauend auf von ihm entwickelten Techniken, begann Hopkins eine Folge von jetzt klassischen Experimenten, die demonstrierten, daß vollständige Nahrung (im Gegensatz zu gereinigten Formen von Proteinen, Fetten und Kohlenhydraten) bestimmte unbekannte Bestandteile enthielt, die für Gesundheit und Wachstum essentiell waren. Der Biochemiker Casimir Funk glaubte aufgrund eigener Studien, daß diese Faktoren Amine waren (Verbindungen, die aus Ammoniak hergeleitet sind) und schlug als Namen für die Faktoren "vitale (lebenswichtige) Amine" oder kurz "Vitamine" vor. Das "e" im englischen Namen wurde später abgelegt als Wissenschaftler erkannten, daß diese unterschiedlichen Nährstoffe andere chemische Eigenschaften und Funktionen haben und, daß viele überhaupt keine Amine enthielten. Hopkins und Christiaan Eijkman - in später Anerkennung seiner fruchtbaren Studien über Beriberi - teilten sich 1929 den Nobelpreis für Medizin für die Entdeckung essentieller Nährstoffe.
