WHAT DOES BERIBERI MEAN IN GERMAN?

beriberi

Beriberi

Beriberi or Beri-Beri is a complex vitamin deficiency disease due to a deficiency of thiamine. Thiamine is involved in glucose metabolism and the building up of nerve cells. Beriberis symptoms are fatigue and lethargy along with disorders of the heart, circulation, nerves and muscles. Christiaan Eijkman discovered the thiamine and connected Beriberi with it, which brought him the Nobelpreis in 1929. As early as 1905, Beriberi's cause was not explained by lack of nutrition but as an infection or food poisoning by mold fungi. The interpretation as a lack nutrition was a significant step to the discovery of the vitamins.

Beriberi oder auch Beri-Beri ist eine komplexe Vitaminmangelerkrankung, die auf einen Mangel an Thiamin zurückzuführen ist. Thiamin ist im Glukosestoffwechsel und am Aufbau von Nervenzellen beteiligt. Beriberisymptome sind Müdigkeit und Lethargie zusammen mit Störungen von Herz, Kreislauf, Nerven und Muskulatur. Christiaan Eijkman entdeckte das Thiamin und brachte Beriberi damit in Zusammenhang, was ihm 1929 den Nobelpreis einbrachte. Noch 1905 wurde die Ursache von Beriberi nicht durch Mangelernährung sondern als Infektionskrankheit beziehungsweise Lebensmittelvergiftung durch Schimmelpilze gedeutet. Die Deutung als Mangelernährung war ein bedeutender Schritt zur Entdeckung der Vitamine.
