چکیده

Pyridoxal phosphate is the coenzyme of various decarboxylases involved in the formation of monoamine neurotransmitters such as gamma-aminobutyric acid, serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats placed on a pyridoxine-deficient diet for 8 weeks showed significant hypertension compared with pyridoxine-supplemented controls. Hypothalamic contents of pyridoxal phosphate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and serotonin in the pyridoxine-deficient rats were significantly lower than those in pyridoxine-supplemented controls. Hypertension was associated with sympathetic stimulation. Treatment of pyridoxine-deficient rats with a single dose of pyridoxine (10 mg/kg body weight) reversed the blood pressure to normal levels within 24 hours, with concomitant restorations of hypothalamic serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid as well as the return of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine to normal levels. Also, pyridoxine treatment reversed the hypothalamic hypothyroidism observed in pyridoxine-deficient rats. These results indicate an association between pyridoxine deficiency and sympathetic stimulation leading to hypertension.

Transmission of neuronal activity was assessed by recording preganglionic and postganglionic compound action potentials in superior cervical ganglia isolated from adult spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, and Wistar rats as well as young SHR and WKY rats to determine if previously observed alterations of membrane excitability, synaptic transmission, or both, have an ...

Hypothyroidism of hypothalamic origin in pyridoxine-deficient rats.

Pyridoxine-deficient young rats (3 weeks old) had significantly reduced levels of pituitary TSH, serum thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) compared with pyridoxine-supplemented rats. The status of the pituitary-thyroid axis of normal, pyridoxine-supplemented and pyridoxine-deficient rats was evaluated by studying the binding parameters of [3H](3-methyl-histidine2)TRH in the pituitary of t...

The role of pyridoxine in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids in rats.

Isotopic data reported by Mead, Steinberg, and Howton in 1953 (1) and by Steinberg, Slaton, Howton, and Mead in 1956 (2) firmly established the incorporation of acetate and of linoleate, respectively, into arachidonic acid in the rat. Witten and Holman in 1952 (3) had suggested that pyridoxine stimulated this conversion. They had shown that rats deficient in essential fatty acids and in pyridox...
