There is a literature talking about several viruses affecting thiamine chemistry, but I don't see that anyone has studied this area in an organized way or seen how these viruses might alter thiamine issues in the host. Do these associations come from a specific inhibition, or just from something involved with the way the immune system is put into action?
Dear;
The metabolism of thymine occurs in the liver mostly, in addition to its storage;
So logically any virus effecting the liver be it hepetitis A,B,C & E will cause a change in the metabolism since the liver is not functioning well, which in turns will effect its chemistry in the whole body.
I had not really thought of looking in that corner. That is a wonderful idea. Thank you. There may be something marvelous waiting to be learned right there!
Best of wishes, Susan
Your mostly welcomed. Waiting for these studies and collaborations maybe.
