<p style="font-weight: 400;">Thiamine, an essential vitamin in our cells, responsible for basic metabolic functions in all biological cells. Deficiency results in disturbance of metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and protein, the most basic compounds. As a consequence, the secondary effects of thiamine deficiency are devastating, such as a defect immune system against bacteria, fungus and virus, degree of aggression, laboured respiration, worsening sensory functions, reduced growth, and very serious effects on reproduction, including direct mortality.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Thus, thiamine deficiency results in a whole spectrum of serious disorders, some obvious and easy to diagnose, others are more subtle and could be mistaken for other disorders. The list of affected species from different animal classes is getting long and now includes mussels, fish, reptiles, mammals, insects and birds.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The overall goal of the research is now to find the underlying cause of thiamine deficiency, i.e., how and by what it arises in our ecosystems.</p>
