It can also occur if the body fails to absorb these nutrients. The disease is common in certain parts of the world (in people consuming large quantities of corn). It is characterized by scaly skin sores, diarrhea, inflamed mucous membranes, and mental confusion and delusions. It may develop after gastrointestinal diseases or alcoholism.

Sports Our Family Bio-lumin Supralife Youngevity Niacin (nicotinic acid or nicotinamide) is essential in the form of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and NAD phosphate (NADP) in which the nicotinamide moiety acts as an electron acceptor or hydrogen donor in many biological redox reactions. NAD functions as an electron carrier for intracellular respiration, as well as a codehydrogenase with enzymes involved in the oxidation of fuel molecules. NADP functions as a hydrogen donor in reductive biosyntheses such as in fatty acid and steroid syntheses and, like NAD, as a codehydrogenase. Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide are rapidly absorbed from the stomach or the intestine. Nicotinamide, the major form in the bloodstream, arises from enzymatic hydrolysis of NADP in the intestinal mucosa and liver. It is transported to tissues that synthesize their own NAD as needed. Niacin and NAD are biosynthesized from dietary tryptophan via the kynurenine pathway and quinolinic acid. Excess niacin is excreted in the urine primarily as N -methylnicotinamide and N -methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide.

   Extractions: Photo: Man with Pellagra on arms By 1912, Joseph Goldberger had been a member of the U.S. Public Health Service for 13 years. In 1914, the surgeon general appointed him to tackle the crisis of pellagra. Pellagra had been a low-level problem throughout the South for years, but crop failures and an economic downturn had raised it to epidemic proportions. The disease causes skin rashes, mouth sores, diarrhea, and if untreated, mental deterioration. Goldberger's first step was to simply observe. He traveled tirelessly through the South, taking notes, asking questions, and watching. He noticed that the diet of poor people in the region consisted of cornbread, molasses, and a little pork fat. It seemed that the poorer people were, the more likely they were to get pellagra. Institutions such as prisons, asylums, and orphanages also had a limited diet and a great deal of pellagra among inmates. Goldberger gradually concluded that the disease was not infectious at all, but strictly a matter of diet. In 1915, he conducted experiments on inmates at a Mississippi prison, who volunteered for the study in exchange for a pardon. Because it was a farm prison, its inmates had a fairly balanced diet. Goldberger's volunteers were given the poor Southern diet he had seen associated with pellagra. That was the only difference. The other inmates ate the usual farm fare. Every effort was made to prevent and rule out infectious transmission. And within months, the volunteers came down with pellagra. Then the researchers

You are still welcome to make a donation or purchase Wikimedia merchandise Pellagra is a vitamin deficiency disease caused by dietary lack of niacin and protein . A dietary deficiency in the essential amino acid tryptophan and niacin can result in a deficiency in niacin (which is a B vitamin ) and can result in pellagra. Symptoms of pellagra are red skin lesions, diarrhea dermatitis , weakness, mental confusion, and eventually dementia . This disease can be common for persons who obtain most of their food energy from corn , as corn is a poor source of lysine, and any lysine it contains is chemically bound. Therefore this disease can be common amongst people who live in rural South America where — during winter — they live off corn. Usually the symptoms show during spring, and disappear over summer, to return the next spring, after another long winter. It is also one of several diseases of malnutrition common in Africa , and was endemic in northern Italy.
