Answer:
Explanation:
Thiamine was the first vitamin identified (vitamin B1) many years ago. It functions as a catalyst in the generation of energy through decarboxylation of branched-chain amino acids and alpha-ketoacids and acts as a coenzyme for transketolase reactions in the form of thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine also plays an unidentified role in propagating nerve impulses and taking part in myelin sheath maintenance.[1]
In severe cases, thiamine deficiency can cause Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which involves two types of closely related brain damage ( 1 , 29 , 30 ). It's symptoms often include delirium, memory loss, confusion and hallucinations
