Extractions: Resources Pellagra is a disorder brought on by a deficiency of the nutrient called niacin or nicotinic acid, one of the B-complex vitamins Nicotinic acid plays a crucial role in the cellular process called respiration. Respiration is the process by which nutrients (specifically sugar, or glucose) and oxygen are taken in, chemical reactions take place, energy is produced and stored, and carbon monoxide and wastes are given off. This process is absolutely central to basic cell functioning, and thus the functioning of the body as a whole. Niacin is a B vitamin found in such foods as yeast, liver, meat, fish, whole-grain cereals and breads, and legumes. Niacin can also be produced within the body from the essential amino acid called tryptophan. Dietary requirements for niacin depend on the age, gender, size, and activity level of the individual. Niacin requirements range from 5 mg in infants up to 20 mg in certain adults. Pellagra can be either primary or secondary. Primary pellagra results when the diet is extremely deficient in niacin-rich foods. A classic example occurs in geographic locations where Indian corn (maize) is the dietary staple. Maize does contain niacin, but in a form which cannot be absorbed from the intestine (except when it has been treated with alkali, as happens in the preparation of tortillas). People who rely on maize as their major food source often develop pellagra. Pellagra can also occur when a hospitalized patient, unable to eat for a very prolonged period of time, is given fluids devoid of vitamins through a needle in the vein (intravenous or IV fluids).

Extractions: Opnieuw vitamine B-behandeling tegen pellagra Opnieuw pellagra-epidemie Brussel, 5 september 2001 - Sinds het begin van de zomer is pellagra opnieuw aan een opmars bezig in de stad Kuito, in Centraal-Angola. AZG telt er op dit ogenblik 70 tot 80 nieuwe gevallen per week. " Het is de derde pellagra-epidemie sinds eind 1999. Een onmiddellijke oplossing is niet voorhanden ", zegt Sophie Baquet, voedingsexperte bij Artsen Zonder Grenzen. De oorzaak van het vitaminetekort ligt bij de slechte voedselsituatie in de regio. Sinds augustus 1999 is pellagra, een zeldzame ziekte, opnieuw opgedoken in Kuito. Aanvankelijk kwam de ziekte vooral voor bij de ontheemde bevolking, maar inmiddels ook bij de vaste bewoners. Pellagra begint als huidziekte, maar leidt tot chronische diarree en dementie. Zonder behandeling, sterft de patiënt binnen de twee maanden. "

BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. pellagra (p l KEY ) , deficiency disease due to a lack of niacin (nicotinic acid), one of the components of the B complex vitamins in the diet. Niacin is plentiful in yeast, organ meats, peanuts, and wheat germ. The disease manifests itself in lesions of the skin and mucous membrane, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, neurological derangement, and mental confusion. It is most common in areas where the diet consists mainly of corn, which, unlike other grains, lacks niacin as well as the amino acid tryptophan, which the body uses to synthesize the vitamin. Treatment includes large doses of niacin and the institution of a proper diet to prevent recurrences.

Ancora peggio dei Lombardi stavano i Veneti, etnicamente cosî affini, che ne condividevano la triste decadenza politico-economica, né stavano meglio i Piemontesi, in gran parte di ceppo lombardo, che scontavano l'arretratezza sociale del loro ordinamento politico".
