Inborn errors affecting vitamin B6 metabolism
Vitamin B 6 is an important vitamin for normal brain function. The metabolism of dietary vitamin B 6 to its active cofactor pyridoxal 5´-phosphate is described. The mechanism of action of pyridoxal 5´-phosphate is described, as are some important functions in the brain. The clinical features and biochemistry of three inborn errors of metabolism affecting brain pyridoxal 5´-phosphate concentrati...
متن کاملDietary vitamin B6 intake and the risk of colorectal cancer.
Vitamin B6, a coenzyme in the folate metabolism pathway, may have anticarcinogenic effects. Laboratory and epidemiologic studies support the hypothesis of its protective effect against colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this large Scottish case-control study, including 2,028 hospital-based cases and 2,722 population-based controls, was to investigate the associations between dietary and supple...
متن کاملOscars, Astronotus ocellatus, have a dietary requirement for vitamin C.
We found that vitamin C is an essential nutrient for an Amazonian ornamental fish, the oscar (Astronotus ocellatus). This was demonstrated by the absence of L-gulonolactone oxidase activity, the enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of vitamin C, in liver or kidney of oscars and by a feeding trial in which oscars without vitamin C dietary supplementation developed clinical deficiency signs. F...

متن کاملMercury Intoxication in Rats: Iron and Vitamin B6 as A Potential Therapy
Background: Mercury in any form is poisonous and mercury toxicity most commonly affects the nervous, gastrointestinal (GI) and urinary systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the specific effect associated with mercury toxicity and to evaluate the effectiveness of iron and vitamin B6 supplement on mercury-induced toxicities in rats. Methods: This experiment was performed on 25 rats...
