A deficiency is unusual because of its wide distribution, but a "burning feet syndrome" has been reported in people suffering from acute malnutrition; 1. one of the B complex vitamins, the importance of which has not been established in human nutrition. Pantothenic acid is a constituent of coenzyme A and as such is presumed to be involved in adrenocortical function. 2. a vitamin of the B complex that is widely distributed in food and tissues and important for normal development in certain animals such as chickens and rats. Pantothenic acid deficiency in rats produces retrograde changes in alveolar and supporting bone. |
