The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of extreme exercise on vitamin B-6
metabolism and urea nitrogen. Nine men and five women completed two 5-day trials; Trial 1
(T1) included a 50-km ultramarathon on day 4 and during Trial 2 (T2) subjects were "inactive"
on day 4....
Previous studies suggest that vitamin B-6 supplementation can alter fuel metabolism during
exercise and plasma amino acid levels at rest. To examine the effect of vitamin B-6
supplementation on plasma fuel substrates and amino acid levels during exercise, five trained
males (age: 29±7; V0₂ max: 54.7±6.2 ml/kg/min) performed two separate...
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-...
Four young trained men were studied during 50 min of continuous
bicycle ergometer exercise [30 min at 60%, 15 min at 80%,
and 5 min at 90% maximal heart rate (MHR)] to elucidate changes
in fuel metabolism resulting from a glycogen depletion-repletion
regimen, and to determine the effect of supplemental...
This investigation was designed to add to present understanding
of vitamin B-6 (B6) metabolism during exercise. Ten women, 5
aerobically trained and 5 untrained, were fed 4 controlled diets: a
moderate carbohydrate (49%) (MCHO) for 2 weeks, a high carbohydrate
(63%) (HCHO) for one week, MCH0+B6 for 2 weeks, and...
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...
Trained male cyclists (6 in study 1, 5 in study 2) cycled to exhaustion (EXH) at
75% of VO₂ max twice; once in the non-supplemented (NS) state and once in the vitamin
B-6 (B-6)(20 mg PN) supplemented (S) state. The diet contained 2.3 mg B-6 in study 1
and 1.9...
This study examined the effect of vitamin B-6 supplementation and exhaustive
submaximal exercise on plasma catecholamine concentrations, and the relationship
between plasma catecholamines and fuel use, heart rate and oxygen consumption. Five
trained men (age= 18-35 years; V0₂max=53 ml 0₂/kg/min.) participated in two controlled
dietary periods that were identical except...
Research suggests that, in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), low
plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) concentrations are related to an increased incidence
and severity of symptoms associated with CTS. This study was designed to determine
the relationship between plasma and red blood cell PLP concentrations and the severity
and incidence...
