چکیده

Dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase and 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase respectively have high and low affinities for pyridoxal phosphate. In the pyridoxine-deficient animal, hypothalamic serotonin content is significantly reduced without any change in catecholamine levels. Hypothalamic neurotransmitters affect the hypothalamo-pituitary-end organ axes. Specifically, the decrease in hypothalamic serotonin in the pyridoxine-deficient rat results in tertiary hypothyroidism. In addition, pineal function is affected in deficient animals due to decreased synthesis of melatonin.

Formiminotransferase activity of liver from mice with pyridoxine deficiency.

Recently we have encountered an infant of formiminotransferase deficiency syndrome associated with megaloblastic pyridoxine responsive anemia of congenital origin.1 In 1966 Vitale et al.2 reported that formiminotransferase activity of the liver was markedly decreased in rats with iron deficiency and suggested a possibility of requirement of iron for function and/or formation of formiminotransfe...

Experimental Production of Pyridoxine Deficiency Anemia in Rats.

MICROCYTIC hypochromic anemia induced by a diet deficient in pyridoxine is well documented in swine,’ monkeys,2 dogs,3 cats,4 ducks,5 and chicks.#{176}In man, pyridoxine deficiency anemia was first described in 1956 by Harris et al.;7 subsequently an increasing number of cases have been reported by others. In 1953, Synderman et al.8 produced pyridoxine deficiency in two infants with cerebral de...

Effect of pyridoxine deficiency on the structural and functional development of hippocampus.

In this study it was attempted to understand the effect of pyridoxine deficiency on the structural and functional development of the hippocampus. Hippocampus has been closely associated with complex neuroendocrine control of physiological activities as well as behavioural responses including learning process and memory retention. Prenatal, preweanling and weanling deficiency of pyridoxine was i...

The effect of pyridoxine deficiency on the absorption of iron by the rat.

The factors which govern the absorption of iron are not well understood. The current theory of iron absorption assigns to bodily need for iron the chief role in the regulation of iron absorption (1, 2). Conclusive evidence is needed, however, to demonstrate the correctness of such a view. In an earlier study from this laboratory (3), it was demonstrated that the high serum iron values and hemos...
