THE VITAMIN Bg GROUP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence for the production in viva from pyridoxine of compounds with increased activity for certain lactic acid bacteria (1) and for the production of similar compounds by amination or oxidation procedures in vitro (2, 3) has been reported. Only a limited number of structures for the compounds resulting from amination or oxidation appeared possible; synthesis (4, 5) of certain of these resulted in identification of pyridoxamine and pyridoxal as the active compounds (6). In the present paper, the activity of these compounds in promoting growth of a number of different organisms is compared with that of pyridoxine. A brief summary of such results with three microorganisms has previously appeared (6).

Effects of vitamin A supplementation in young lambs on performance, serum lipid, and longissimus muscle lipid composition.
Forty crossbred wethers (BW = 28.7 kg) were used to evaluate the effects on LM lipid composition of diets containing high and low levels of vitamin A. Four treatments arranged as a 2 x 2 factorial with a completely random design were investigated: backgrounding (BG) and finishing (FN) with no supplemental vitamin A (LL); BG with no supplemental vitamin A and FN with high vitamin A (6,600 IU/kg ...
متن کاملPyridoxal phosphokinases. II. Effects of inhibitors.
Many compounds have been described that inhibit growth by interfering at one point or another in the metabolism of vitamin Bg (2). These include a variety of compounds related structurally to the vitamin, together with an array of carbonyl reagents generally known to inhibit pyridoxal phosphate enzymes. In no case has the site of action of such inhibitors in tivo been established. One of the fi...
متن کاملFunction of the vitamin B6 group; mechanism of transamination.
The r&e of vitamin Bg in amino acid metabolism has been well established through enzyme studies (l-3) and by the substitution for various amino acids in growth studies (4-6). The coenzyme form, synthetic pyridoxal phosphate (7), functions as the coenzyme for amino acid decarboxylases (S-10), transaminases (2, 3), tryptophan formation (11)) and tryptophan breakdown by tryptophanase (12). The rea...
متن کاملEffect of Antenatal Dexamethasone on Serum Umbilical Cord C-peptide and Glucose Levels in Term Neonates Delivered by elective Cesarean Section
Background: Antenatal steroid therapy recently has been considered for term and late preterm neonates delivered by Cesarean section (CS), with the aim of preventing adverse respiratory morbidity. The main aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic effects of antenatal dexamethasone on blood glucose (BG), homeostasis, and serum C-peptide level when administered to term fetuses. Methods: ...
متن کاملThe Relationship among Glycemic, Small Intestinal Transit and Insulinemic States in Normal Mice
Gastrointestinal (GI) complications during diabetes mellitus (DM) are common. Attempts to ascribe changes in the glycemic state to the altered GI (gastrointestinal) motility in experimental models yielded varied results. In the present study the possible cause-effect relationship between the changes in the glycemic, insulinemic states and small intestinal transit (SIT) in normal mice was examin...
