The bioavailability of vitamin B₆ in four selected foods (bananas, filberts, soybeans and beef) was determined in five men, aged 22 to 25 years, who were saturated with pyridoxine. The study consisted of a five-day ad ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the overall changes in concentration of plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), red blood cell PLP (rbc PLP) and plasma glucose during an oral glucose to ...

4-Pyridoxic acid is the major metabolite of all forms of vitamin B₆ in mammalian species. The determination of 4-pyridoxic acid, therefore, is important in the investigation of vitamin B₆ metabolism and for the establ ...

There were two main purposes to this study. The first was to determine the vitamin B-6 and pyridoxine β-glucoside content of selected foods commonly consumed in Malawi. The second was to examine the effect of preparati ...

In two studies we tested the effect of vitamin B-6 (B-6) intake on in vitro lymphocyte, proliferation and IL-2 production in healthy young women. In Study I, 6 women were fed a constant diet containing 0.84 mg (4.96 μ ...

The purpose of this study was, first, to investigate whether there is a vitamin B-6 requirement for carnitine synthesis and, second, to investigate the effect of fasting on vitamin B-6 metabolism. An experimental grou ...

Bioavailability (BA) of vitamin B6 (B-6) from foods may be limited. The knowledge of the BA of B6 from food is important in that this would help to understand if the B6 present in the diet of individuals will meet the ...

The purposes of the research presented in this thesis were: (1) to determine the precision with which it is possible to measure changes in vitamin B6 compounds in the blood and urine following oral doses of levels of ...
