Extractions: In 1914, pellagra was widely believed to be of infectious origin. This situation was not surprising because identification of specific microbes with specific diseases began several decades before specific nutritional deficiencies became known. Joseph Goldberger, who had experience in infectious disease, was assigned by the U.S. Public Health Service to be in charge of pellagra studies. This paper, part of a symposium on the history of nutrition, describes the state of medical thought early in the century and reviews how Goldberger disproved the infectious nature of pellagra by keen observation and experiment.

Extractions: Toggle English Spanish Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: A disease caused by a deficient diet or failure of the body to absorb niacin (one of the B complex vitamins ) or an amino acid ( tryptophan ). Common in certain parts of the world (in people consuming large quantities of corn), the disease is characterized by scaly skin sores, diarrhea , mucosal changes, and mental symptoms (especially a schizophrenia-like dementia ). It may develop after gastrointestinal diseases or alcoholism Privacy Statement Diversity Statement The information on this web site is provided as a public service by the university of Maryland Medical System, a regional health care delivery system that includes an academic medical center (the University of Maryland Medical Center in downtown Baltimore) as well as five community and specialty hospitals and outpatient sites throughout Baltimore and central Maryland.

Extractions: 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. Causes and symptoms 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: PELLAGRA: malattia endemica dovuta a carenza di vitamina PP e dell'aminoacido triptofano, sostanze che si trovano nel latte, nelle verdure, nei cereali (escluso il granoturco); ha andamento stagionale con riacutizzazioni primaverili e autunnali e colpisce prevalentemente le donne. Si manifesta con arrossamento della lingua, eritema delle parti scoperte (viso, collo, mani, braccia ecc.), favorito dall'esposizione alla luce solare e accompagnato da intenso prurito, seguito da pigmentazione brunastra, desquamazione cutanea e inoltre da disturbi intestinali e depressione psichica. Malattia tipica del secolo diciannovesimo, la pellagra colpiva in special modo le popolazioni rurali che si nutrivano quasi esclusivamente di polenta. Si cura con un'alimentazione ricca di proteine contenenti triptofano(carne, latte e latticini, verdure) e con la somministrazione di vitamina PP e altre vitamine del gruppo B, nonchè il lievito di birra.

Niacin Pellagra Dementia
pellagra, The Classic Niacin Deficiency Disease,is Characterized By BilateralDermatitis In Sun Exposed Areas,glossitis, Diarrhea, And Dementia.
http://www.colloidal-min.com/faq100.htm

Extractions: Niacin (nicotinic acid or nicotinamide) is essential in the form of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and NAD phosphate (NADP) in which the nicotinamide moiety acts as an electron acceptor or hydrogen donor in many biological redox reactions. NAD functions as an electron carrier for intracellular respiration, as well as a codehydrogenase with enzymes involved in the oxidation of fuel molecules. NADP functions as a hydrogen donor in reductive biosyntheses such as in fatty acid and steroid syntheses and, like NAD, as a codehydrogenase. Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide are rapidly absorbed from the stomach or the intestine. Nicotinamide, the major form in the bloodstream, arises from enzymatic hydrolysis of NADP in the intestinal mucosa and liver. It is transported to tissues that synthesize their own NAD as needed. Niacin and NAD are biosynthesized from dietary tryptophan via the kynurenine pathway and quinolinic acid. Excess niacin is excreted in the urine primarily as N -methylnicotinamide and N -methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide.

encyclopediaEncyclopedia pellagra, pulag'ru Pronunciation Key. SeeDA Roe, A Plague of Corn A Social History of pellagra (1973).
http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/sci/A0838092.html

Extractions: Pronunciation Key pellagra , 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. See D. A. Roe, A Plague of Corn: A Social History of Pellagra
