Recent studies in men have shown plasma levels of vitamin B-6
and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B-6, to
increase with exercise. It was hypothesized that muscle glycogen
phosphorylase might be the source of these increases as this enzyme
has been shown to increase with increasing vitamin...
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...
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 tolerance test (OGTT) in persons with
diabetes mellitus (DM), and to test the hypothesis that the...
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 requirements for this vitamin.
The purpose of this study...
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...
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...
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...
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of glucose on plasma pyridoxal 5'- phosphate (PLP) concentration. The objective was to determine whether there was a negative relationship between glucose ingestion and plasma PLP concentration and to evaluate the possible mechanism of decreased PLP after acute glucose ingestion. Seven healthy...
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 preparation procedures of foods in Malawi on the content of vitamin B-6 and pyridoxine β-...
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...
