Pantethine Supports Natural Stress Response

Byron's Comments:

Pantethine is shown to boost the production of adrenal hormones, thereby supporting the natural stress response.

Study Title:

Adrenal cortex functional activity in pantothenate deficiency and the administration of the vitamin or its derivatives.

Study Abstract:

Study of the corticosteroid content in the adrenals and blood of rats under pantothenate deficiency has demonstrated a decrease in adrenocortical function. A single administration of pantothenate in a dose of 3.3 mg/kg reduced the influence of hypovitaminosis on the adrenals. The pantothenate derivatives (pantethine, 4’-phosphopantothenate and CoA in particular) injected to intact animals in a single dose equimolar to 3.3 mg/kg calcium pantothenate per kg bw had a marked steroidogenous effect.
