Niacin deficiency in children
Nicotinic acid deficiency is also known as pellagra, or pellagra (which is the Italian translation, meaning rough skin). It is a disease caused by the lack of niacin (commonly known as vitamin P-P) or niacinamide in the body, with skin rashes, digestive system and nervous system as the main manifestations. In ancient my country, it was called millet rashes. As early as the 18th century, there was a relatively detailed description of the clinical manifestations of the disease, but it was not until 1917 that Goldberger confirmed that the disease was related to dietary factors. In 1937, niacin was used to treat human pellagra with obvious results. In 1945, it was discovered that tryptophan treatment also had the same effect. Nicotinic acid and niacinamide constitute the coenzyme system required for the cell respiration mechanism in the body. Nicotinic acid is a heat-resistant and alkali-resistant water-soluble vitamin, and is the most stable of all vitamins.
