NCIt definition : A heat-labile and water-soluble essential vitamin, belonging to the vitamin B family,
with antioxidant, erythropoietic, mood modulating, and glucose-regulating activities.
Thiamine reacts with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to form an active coenzyme, thiamine
pyrophosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate is necessary for the actions of pyruvate dehydrogenase
and alpha-ketoglutarate in carbohydrate metabolism and for the actions of transketolase,
an enzyme that plays an important role in the pentose phosphate pathway. Thiamine
plays a key role in intracellular glucose metabolism and may inhibit the action of
glucose and insulin on arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation. Thiamine may also
protect against lead toxicity by inhibiting lead-induced lipid peroxidation.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A nutrient in the vitamin B complex that the body needs in small amounts
to function and stay healthy. Vitamin B1 helps some enzymes work properly, helps break
down sugars in the diet, and keeps nerves and the heart healthy. It is found in pork,
organ meats, peas, beans, nuts, and whole grains. Vitamin B1 is water-soluble (can
dissolve in water) and must be taken in daily. Not enough vitamin B1 can cause a disease
called beriberi (a condition marked by heart, nerve, and digestive disorders). Too
much vitamin B1 may help cancer cells grow faster.; CRCH: Water-soluble vitamin that is a coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates
and branched-chain amino acids. (DRI);
