Thiamine: An indispensable regulator of paediatric neuro-cardiovascular health and diseases.

ABSTRACT: The sustainable developmental goals emphasize good health, reduction in preventable neonatal and under-five mortalities, and attaining zero hunger. However, South Asian countries report a higher incidence of neonatal and under-five mortalities when compared to the Western world, many of which are attributed to maternal and perinatal micronutrient deficiencies. Isolated nutrient deficiency in the absence of calorie deficit poses a diagnostic challenge since such deficiencies present with acute multisystemic and enigmatic manifestations. Thiamine (vitamin B1) is a micronutrient of prime importance which exerts indispensable roles in energy metabolism. Deficiency of thiamine can lead to catastrophic consequences. This review provides insight into the biochemical actions of thiamine in energy
