Primary and secondary thiamine deficits disturb cholinergic transmission in the brain, impairing the cognitive and motor functions in affected individuals (Gibson et al., 1982; Butterworth, 2009; Jankowska-Kulawy et al., 2010). Thiamine-deficient rats displayed inhibition of ACh synthesis and release, despite the unchanged activities of ChAT – indicating the preservation of cholinergic neurons integrity in these conditions. Thus, TD-evoked inhibition of ACh metabolism resulted exclusively from in situ inhibition of pyruvate oxidation by PDHC, yielding decreased availability of acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria and its secondary deficits in the ACh synthesizing compartment. (Figures 1A,E,​,FF). In these conditions, the rate of ACL-dependent fraction of ACh synthesis/release fell from 0.52 to 0.26% of maximal ChAT activity (Jankowska-Kulawy et al., 2010).
