  • The effect of vitamin B-6 deficiency on carnitine metabolism during fasting in rats

    Creator:
    Cho, Youn-ok
    Abstract:
    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 group of 72 rats (6 per group) were fed either a vitamin B-6 deficient diet (-B6) (ad...

  • Vitamin B₆ enrichment of wheat flour : stability and bioavailability

    Creator:
    Perera, Anne Doloras
    Abstract:
    This investigation consisted of two parts: A. stability, B. bioavailability of vitamin B₆ in wheat. Three variables; whole wheat flour (WHW), white flour (W) and W enriched with vitamin B₆ (WB₆) were tested. Stability of vitamin B₆ during bread making and storage of bread and flour was determined. Bread was...

  • Vitamin B-6 and pyrimidine deoxynucleoside metabolism in the rat

    Creator:
    Jensen, Christine May
    Abstract:
    Serine transhydroxymethylase (STHM), a pyridoxal 5'- phosphate requiring enzyme is indirectly involved in pyrimidine deoxynucleotide metabolism. A decrease in the activity of this enzyme could lead to altered deoxycytidine (dC) metabolism. This study was undertaken to determine if a vitamin B-6 deficiency affects dC metabolism. The effect of a vitamin...

  • Vitamin B-6 metabolism and status in young and middle-aged women

    Creator:
    Lee, Caroll Marie
    Abstract:
    To investigate the responses of healthy adult women to two levels of vitamin B-6, a seven week two-part experiment was conducted with five young adults and eight middle-aged subjects. During the four unsupplemented weeks, dietary vitamin B-6 was 2.3-2.4 mg/day. In the final three weeks, the same diet was supplemented...

  • Effect of controlled vitamin B-6 intake and pyridoxine supplementation on B-6 status of smokers

    Creator:
    Sindihebura-Ruhumba, Pascaline
    Abstract:
    Previous studies have found that smoking may have a negative effect on vitamin B-6 indices and have demonstrated a possible association between smoking and depressed plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) concentration. Individuals with plasma PLP values below the adequate level of 30 nmoles/L might benefit from consumption of vitamin B-6 supplements, but...

  • Plasma B-6 vitamer changes following a 50-km ultramarathon

    Creator:
    Leonard, Scott W.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to measure plasma B-6 vitamers, and other factors which may affect the plasma concentrations of these vitamers under extreme physical conditions. Blood samples were drawn from 8 men and 3 women (43.7 ± 8.6 years) 30 minutes prior to the start of a 50-km...

    Abstract:
    The status of vitamin B-6 (B6) nutriture of nine persons (4F;5M) with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), nine persons (5F;4M) with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and 18 control individuals (9F;9M) was evaluated, using biochemical and dietary indicators of B6 status. The biochemical indices employed were plasma concentration of pyridoxal...

    Creator:
    Hansen, Christine M., 1953-
    Abstract:
    Four studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of varying levels of vitamin B-6 (B6), protein and pyridoxine glucoside (PNG) on B6 status and requirements of women. In the first two studies, women were fed a constant protein diet and vitamin B-6 intakes of 0.84 to 2.39 mg/d during 10-...

    Abstract:
    The present study was designed to investigate the effects of exercise on vitamin B-6 metabolism. Four groups of subjects (intermittent, college, untrained, and high school) consisting of nineteen male and two female individuals, participated in the study. The subjects exercised either on a bicycle ergometer, by running three 1500 meter...

    Creator:
    Seitz, Julia Ann
    Abstract:
    The study was designed to indirectly understand muscle glycogen utilization during prolonged exercise when either glucose, fructose, or water is ingested. Eight trained adult males exercised on a cycle ergometer at 58±7% of V02 max for 2 h on 2-4 occasions. At 0 minutes of exercise and at 30-minute intervals...
