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...
This investigation was conducted to determine the
effect of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on vitamin B-6
status of postmenopausal women. Nineteen postmenopausal
women served as subjects. Nine (54.7 + 4.7 years) were
taking ERT (experimental group); ten (56.8 + 2.3 years)
were not (control group). For three consecutive days,
subjects...
The effect of pyridoxine (PN) supplementation on lymphocyte
responsiveness was investigated in 15 elderly volunteers (aged
65-81 years) by measuring lymphocyte proliferation to T and B cell
mitogens, lymphocyte subpopulations with monoclonal antibodies
(T3, T4, T8) and plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) concentration
at pre-supplementation and after 1 and 2 months...
We investigated the effect of pyridoxine
supplementation on the utilization of protein in a low-protein,
plant-based diet in four subjects (2 men and
2 women), aged 21 to 38 years. Following two days of a
negligible protein diet, this 34 day study was divided into
three dietary periods: the subjects...
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....
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...
The objectives of this study were a) to determine
if pyridoxine (PN) supplementation increases the rate at
which plasma urea and ammonia return to basal levels,
following exercise, b) to determine, by open circuit
calorimetry, the utilization of carbohydrates, and c) to
further understand vitamin B-6 metabolism during and
following...
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...
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-...
