Description:
VITAMIN B 6 refers to several PICOLINES (especially PYRIDOXINE; PYRIDOXAL; & PYRIDOXAMINE) that are efficiently converted by the body to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, and aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into PYRIDOXAMINE phosphate. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990). Most of vitamin B6 is eventually degraded to PYRIDOXIC ACID and excreted in the urine.

- " The present study indicates that vitamin B6 deficiency is prevalent in CDC stage III HIV-1-infected subjects, despite adequate dietary vitamin B6 intake" 11/01/1977
- " Two metabolic trials using early-weaned piglets were performed to find out whether highly vitamin B6 deficient prest,rter- or starter feeds (0.4 mg vitamin B6/Kg) would affect the excretion and retention of Ca, P, Mg, K and Na as compared with pair-fed control animals given 6.5 mg B6/Kg. The depleted animals showing typical vitamin B6 deficiency symptoms in the course of the trials, were found to excrete in the feces somewhat smaller amounts of minerals during both metabolic periods" 08/01/2007
- " Women with sufficient vitamin B6 had a higher adjusted hazard ratio of conception (HR=1.4, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.9) and a lower adjusted odds ratio of early pregnancy loss in conceptive cycles (odds ratio=0.7, 95% CI: 0.4, 1.1) than did women with vitamin B6 deficiency" 06/01/2007
- " Collectively, these data indicate that vitamin B(6) restriction decreases the activity and stability of SHMT, and that the cytoplasmic isozyme is more sensitive to vitamin B(6) deficiency than the mitochondrial isozyme in MCF-7 cells." 05/01/2002
- " Since vitamin B6 deficiency causes profound effects on immune system function, dietary or supplemented vitamin B6 intake is suggested for hospitalized patients."
