<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The essential nature of pantothenic acid was discovered by [[Roger J. Williams]] in 1933 by showing it was required for the growth of yeast. Three years later Elvehjem and Jukes demonstrated that it was a growth and anti-dermatitis factor in chickens. Williams dubbed the compound "pantothenic acid", deriving the name from the Greek word ''pantothen'', which translates as "from everywhere". His reason was that he found it to be present in almost every food he tested. Williams went on to determine the chemical structure in 1940. In 1953, [[Fritz Lipmann]] shared the [[Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine]] "for his discovery of co-enzyme A and its importance for intermediary metabolism", work he had published in 1946.</div>FuzzyBot
