Abstract
Thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) was discovered over 60 years ago and it was long thought to be a specifically neuroactive compound. Its presence in most cell types, from bacteria to mammals, would suggest a more general role but this remains undefined. In contrast to thiamine diphosphate (ThDP), ThTP is not a coenzyme. In E. coli cells, ThTP is transiently produced in response to amino acid starvation, while in mammalian cells, it is constitutively produced at a low rate. Though it was long thought that ThTP was synthesized by a ThDP:ATP phosphotransferase, more recent studies indicate that it can be synthesized by two different enzymes: (1) adenylate kinase 1 in the cytosol and (2) FoF1-ATP synthase in brain mitochondria. Both mechanisms are conserved from bacteria to mammals. Thus ThTP synthesis does not seem to require a specific enzyme. In contrast, its hydrolysis is catalyzed, at least in mammalian tissues, by a very specific cytosolic thiamine triphosphatase (ThTPase), controlling the steady-state cellular concentration of ThTP. In some tissues where adenylate kinase activity is high and ThTPase is absent, ThTP accumulates, reaching ≥ 70% of total thiamine, with no obvious physiological consequences. In some animal tissues, ThTP was able to phosphorylate proteins, and activate a high-conductance anion channel in vitro. These observations raise the possibility that ThTP is part of a still uncharacterized cellular signaling pathway. On the other hand, its synthesis by a chemiosmotic mechanism in mitochondria and respiring bacteria might suggest a role in cellular energetics.

Abstract
One of the earliest vitamins to be discovered and synthesized, thiamin was originally spelled with an "e". The terminal "e" was dropped when it was found that it was not an amine. It is still spelled with and without the "e" depending on the text. This chapter provides a brief historical review of the association of thiamin with the ancient scourge of beriberi. It emphasizes that beriberi is the model for high calorie malnutrition because of its occurrence in predominantly white rice consuming cultures. Some of the symptomatology of this ancient scourge is described, emphasizing the difference from that seen in starvation. High calorie malnutrition, due to excessive ingestion of simple carbohydrates, is widely encountered in the U.S.A. today. Thiamin deficiency is commonly associated with this, largely because of its cofactor status in the metabolism of glucose. The biochemistry of the three phosphorylated esters of thiamin and the transporters are discussed and the pathophysiology of thiamin deficiency reviewed. The role of thiamin, and particularly its synthetic derivatives as therapeutic agents, is not fully appreciated in Western civilization and a clinical section describes some of the unusual cases described in the scientific literature and some experienced by the author. The possible role of high calorie malnutrition and related thiamin deficiency in juvenile crime is hypothesized.

Abstract
Thiamin(e), also known as vitamin B1, is now known to play a fundamental role in energy metabolism. Its discovery followed from the original early research on the ‘anti-beriberi factor’ found in rice polishings. After its synthesis in 1936, it led to many years of research to find its action in treating beriberi, a lethal scourge known for thousands of years, particularly in cultures dependent on rice as a staple. This paper refers to the previously described symptomatology of beriberi, emphasizing that it differs from that in pure, experimentally induced thiamine deficiency in human subjects. Emphasis is placed on some of the more unusual manifestations of thiamine deficiency and its potential role in modern nutrition. Its biochemistry and pathophysiology are discussed and some of the less common conditions associated with thiamine deficiency are reviewed. An understanding of the role of thiamine in modern nutrition is crucial in the rapidly advancing knowledge applicable to Complementary Alternative Medicine. References are given that provide insight into the use of this vitamin in clinical conditions that are not usually associated with nutritional deficiency. The role of allithiamine and its synthetic derivatives is discussed. Thiamine plays a vital role in metabolism of glucose. Thus, emphasis is placed on the fact that ingestion of excessive simple carbohydrates automatically increases the need for this vitamin. This is referred to as high calorie malnutrition.

Abstract
Three of six siblings presented with sleep apnea between 18 and 26 months of age. Twin females and a male had normal growth and development without antecedent neurologic or apparent metabolic disorder. The females presented at 25 and 27 months respectively with irregular respiration and episodes of apnea. Twin A succumbed to an apneic episode while sleeping. Central sleep apnea was diagnosed in twin B at the Stanford Sleep Clinic. She died following an apneic episode three months after evaluation. The male presented at 18 months with fatal sleep apnea. A fourth child was evaluated for sleep apnea at 7 weeks of age with several hospitalizations before her death at 31 months. She and remaining family members were extensively studied for inherited neurologic disorders including subacute necrotizing encephalomyopathy (SANE, Leigh disease). This family with lethal sleep apnea presents an association with SANE with minimal neurologic signs and symptoms and neuropathologic involvement. Lesions were confined to the respiratory centers of the lower brain stem, making sleep apnea explicable. This child and family members tested positive or borderline for inhibitor substance thiamine triphosphate (TTP). All testing for TTP inhibitor substance was performed in Professor Jack R. Cooper's laboratory, Department of Pharmacology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn. These cases present an interesting and instructive lesson emphasizing the need for extensive evaluation of children with unsuspected sleep apnea with early demise.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy marked by reduced nerve conduction velocities was found in four unrelated children, between the ages of 15 months and 9 years, whose autopsies revealed Leigh's subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy. Sural nerve biopsies disclosed primary demyelination and remyelination, as well as loss of myelinated and unmyelinated axons. The use of morphometric and electron microscopic studies shows that these techniques may reveal peripheral neuropathy in Leigh's disease more often than light microscopic methods alone.

Abstract
An enzymatic study of cultured skin fibroblasts was made in 28 patients with lactic acidosis. In three of these patients a diagnosis of Leigh's encephalomyelopathy was established from autopsy findings. Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) deficiency was found in four patients. In two of them, in whom Leigh's encephalomyelopathy was proved by autopsy, PDC activity was lower than 10% of the normal. The other two living patients, who showed 22%-25% of the normal activity, had clinical symptoms and courses different from Leigh's disease. These findings suggest that the patients with severe PDC deficiency develop Leigh's disease but those with mild deficiency may not. A deficiency of cytochrome c oxidase was found in two siblings. One of them, who was diagnosed as having Leigh's encephalomyelopathy by postmortem examination, showed a reduction of cytochrome c oxidase in the liver and brain. In the other sibling, who is living, the reduction of cytochrome c oxidase was demonstrated in the cultured skin fibroblasts and biopsied muscle. In an electron-microscopic study of biopsied muscle, two patients with mitochondrial myopathy were found. Their fundamental enzymatic defects were unclear. In two patients, in whom Leigh's disease was suspected following a brain CT, the production of 14CO2 from [3-14C] pyruvate was found to be low; suggesting a reduced activity of the TCA cycle. In another 18 patients, the fundamental defect was not clear.

Abstract
Two siblings with cytochrome c oxidase deficiency are described. One of them died of subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy which was proven by autopsy. The other was also suspected of having Leigh encephalomyelopathy by the findings on brain CT scans. The former, a younger brother, was in good health until the age of 10 months when progressive dysphagia, muscular hypotonia and abnormal eye movements became apparent. Six months later he suddenly died due to respiratory insufficiency. The latter, an elder brother, started to show nystagmus, abnormal eye movements and ataxia at the age of 5 years. A deficiency of cytochrome c oxidase in the younger brother was demonstrated in autopsied liver and brain, while such a deficiency in the elder brother was shown in biopsied peripheral muscle tissue and in cultured skin fibroblasts. Both patients showed a marked heat lability of cytochrome c oxidase. These results suggest that the biochemical defect observed in the siblings is due to a genetic defect. This seems to be the first case of a generalized defect in cytochrome c oxidase.

Abstract
The case of an adolescent girl aged 16 with subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy (Leigh) is reported. The chronic course of illness lasting for 7.5 years was characterized by visual and gait disorders progressing to blindness, incomplete spastic tetraparesis, and fatal respiratory insufficiency. Neuropathology, in addition to CNS lesions with typical pattern, revealed involvement of Ammon's horn, fornix, corpora mammillaria, tractus mammillothalamicus, and corpus callosum. The massive damage to the total Ammon's horn formation, the distribution of which correlates to none of the established patterns of lesion, is related to the primary disease given, and an additional secondary transneuronal degeneration of associated systems is suggested.

Abstract
Erythrocyte transketolase activity and the effect of adding thiamine pyrophosphate (% thiamine pyrophosphate effect) were measured in 111 subjects suspected to suffer from Leigh's disease (subacute necrotising encephalomyelopathy). From clinical evidence these subjects were divided into five groups: (1) necropsy-proved cases of subacute necrotising encephalomyelopathy, (2) cases positive for urinary thiamine pyrophosphate: adenosine triphosphate phosphotransferase inhibitor, (3) clinically likely cases of subacute necrotising encephalomyelopathy (patients still alive, or on whom no necropsy was performed), (4) cases diagnosed as diseases other than subacute necrotising encephalomyelopathy (control group), (5) cases for which no diagnosis had been made. Comparison of erythrocyte transketolase activities with and without added thiamine pyrophosphate and of the % thiamine pyrophosphate effect for each group compared with the control group showed no statistically significant differences from normal values for any of these parameters. Similarly, there were no differences between the two sexes in transketolase activity, and no correlation between transketolase activity and age. These results indicate that erythrocyte transketolase activity is not altered in subacute necrotising encephalomyelopathy and is unlikely to be of value for the diagnosis of Leigh's disease.

Abstract
A report is given of an association of dyssynergia cerebellaris myoclonica associated with Friedreich's ataxia and mitochondrial myopathy in 2 patients. They had suffered from gradually increasing bursts of myoclonus since the wage of 14 and childhood, respectively. The other striking clinical features included generalized convulsions, mental deterioration, intention tremor, ataxia, muscular atrophy and deformity of feet. Muscle biopsies revealed ragged-red fibres in both cases. On electron microscopy these fibres contained subsarcolemnal aggregations of abundant abnormal mitochondria with proliferation of inner membranes or paracrystalline inclusions. One of these patients showed elevated blood lactate and pyruvate with an increased lactate/pyruvate ration, apparently of primary origin. These 2 cases resemble those reported briefly by Tsairis et al. (1974). An association of dyssynergia cerebellaris myoclonica associated with Friedreich's ataxia and mitochondrial myopathy in these 2 patients is unlikely to be coincidental but may represent one nosological entity. This myoclonus epilepsy syndrome associated with ragged-red fibres is compared with other possibly related mitochondrial encephalomyopathies.

Abstract
The large family of a 21-year-old man who died of Leigh disease was investigated for evidence of neurological abnormalities and presence of the adenosine triphosphate-thiamine diphosphate phosphoryltransferase inhibitor factor. Of 217 persons (seven generations) included in the pedigree, 68 were examined neurologically and biochemically. Fourteen (20%), 5 of whom had abnormal neurological findings, were found to excrete the inhibitor factor. Clinical manifestations varied from severe neurological affliction to subtle deficits. A chronic relapsing course was frequently encountered, with exacerbations occurring in association with apparent metabolic stress. Parental consanguinity was identified in the propositus as well as in other family members with neurological abnormalities. Males and females were affected, and no vertical transmission of the trait was found. These multigenerational data suggest that Leigh disease in adults is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and has variable degrees of expression with a wide spectrum of neurological manifestations.

Abstract
The possibility that thiamine (vitamin B1) has a role in nervous tissue that is independent of its well-documented coenzyme function is discussed. After reviewing the localization and metabolism of the vitamin and its phosphate esters, the effects of either thiamine deprivation or antimetabolites of thiamine on conduction and transmission, and the relationship between thiamine triphosphate and the genetic, neurological disease, subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy (Leigh's disease), it is suggested that despite the lack of hard evidence, it is likely that the vitamin possesses this alternate function.

Abstract
The experiments described in this paper serve as a contribution to the solution of the discrepancies which exist in the assay of ATP:thiamine diphosphate phosphotransferase activity (EC 2.7.4.15), presently in use as a tool for the diagnosis of Leigh's disease (SNE, subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy). The results obtained with this phosphotransferase assay can, in part, be explained by the presence of thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) in the preparation of thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) used as a substrate, by the inhibition by ATP of the ThTP phosphohydrolase activity, present in fractions of rat brain homogenates, and by the stimulation by ThDP of the ATPase activity. When [2(-14)C-thiazole]thiamine was used for the synthesis of [14C]ThTP in fractions of rat brain, it was found that after chromatographic separation of thiamine and its phosphates, 14C radioactivity could be demonstrated in the ThTP fractions, even in the absence of an enzyme source. Probably a complex is formed between [14C]thiamine and a phosphate ester which behaves chromatographically as ThTP. It is concluded that the assay system for the measurement of ThTP synthesis in its present form is, in our hands, not suitable for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract
Two children are described who suffered from episodes of metabolic acidosis and progressive mental and motor deterioration. The patients showed periodic elevation of blood lactate, pyruvate and alanine, which was accompanied by vomiting, hypotonia or convulsions. The concentrations of lactate and pyruvate in cerebrospinal fluid were found to be increased. Liver biopsies revealed a decrease in pyruvate carboxylase activity and normal pyruvate decarboxylase activity. No inhibitor of TPP-ATP phosphoryl transferase was detected in urine from the patients. These findings suggest that congenital lactic acidosis due to pyruvate carboxylase deficiency is probably a different disease entity from Leigh's encephalomyelopathy. A possible mechanism of brain damage caused by a defect in pyruvate carboxylase is postulated.

Abstract
Thiamine pyrophosphate-ATP phosphoryltransferase, the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of thiamine triphosphate, has been found in the supernatant fraction of rat liver. The substrate for the enzyme is endogenous, bound thiamine pyrophosphate, since the addition of exogenous thiamine pyrophosphate had no effect. Thus, when a rat liver supernatant was incubated with gamma-labelled [32P]ATP, thiamine [32P]triphosphate was formed whereas the incubation of thiamine [32P]pyrophosphate with ATP did not produce thiamine [32P]triphosphate. The endogenous thiamine pyrophosphate was found to be bound to a high molecular weight protein which comes out in the void volume of Sephadex G-75, and is not dialyzable. The activity that catalyzes the formation of thiamine triphosphate has an optimum pH between 6 and 6.5, a linear time course of thiamine triphosphate synthesis up to 30 min, and is not affected by Ca2+, cyclic GMP and sulfhydryl reagents.

Abstract
A 16-month-old female infant with severe mental and motor retardation, clinically diagnosed as Leigh's encephalomyelopathy, forms the basis of this study. This infant was found to have lactic acidosis, low cerebrospinal fluid glucose, hyperalaninemia, and increased levels of urine lactate, pyruvate and alanine. These laboratory studies suggested an inborn error in gluconeogenesis. Further investigation revealed a low level of hepatic pyruvate carboxylase activity. The patient's elder sister who also had mental and motor deterioration was then also found to have an elevated blood lactate. These two siblings clinically and biochemically showed improvement with treatment consisting of thiamine and lipoic acid.
