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. |
