objective(s):  this study was undertaken to investigate the protective effects of vitamin b6, cofactor for cystathionine-γ lyase and cystathionine-β synthase (producers of h2s), alone and in combination with l-cysteine, h2s precursor, on indomethacin-, and ethanol-induced gastric lesions in male nmri mice. materials and methods: fasted male nmri mice were randomly assigned into 12 groups (7 in ...

The activity of aspartate aminotransferase a vitamin B6 containing enzyme was measured in the laysed synaptosomes prepared from rat brain, during development. Administration of vitamin B6 increased the enzyme activity throughout development. The stimulating effect of this vitamin was prevented when the animals were previously treated with D-penicillamine. However, penicillamine alone had n...

vitamin b6 is a cofactor of various enzymes influencing numerous neurotransmitters in the brain such as norepinephrin, and serotonin . since these neurotransmitters influence mood , the aim the present work to evaluate the effect of vitamin b6 on depression and obsessive compulsive behavior when coadministred with clomipramine, fluoxetine, or venlafaxine. male mice weighing 25-30 g were used. t...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Recent research regarding vitamin B6 status including biochemical index is limited. Thus, this study estimated intakes and major food sources of vitamin B6; determined plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP); and assessed vitamin B6 status of Korean adults. MATERIALS/METHODS Three consecutive 24-h diet recalls and fasting blood samples were collected from healthy 20- to 64-y...

background considering the inadequacies of current therapeutic regimens for infantile spasms (is), and the frequent and serious side effects of  some regimens, the ongoing search for more enhanced protocols is understandable. materials and methods: we have compared the therapeutic and adverse effects of vitamin b6 given in high doses with those of prednisolone in a randomized controlled clinica...

1. An in vitro method which used enzymic digestion of the food matrix to release biologically available vitamin B6 is described. 2. Vitamin B6-fortified liquid model foods were thermally processed. After these foods had been freeze-dried, one part was subjected to enzymic hydrolysis at pH 2.0 with pepsin (EC 3.4.23.1) followed by a hydrolysis at pH 8.0 with pancreatin. The vitamins that were fo...

a bstra ct   background: nausea and vomiing are the common symptoms of early pregnancy. without treatment, vomiting can complicate the pregnancy, so it must be reduced. wide varieties of treatment have been used for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. this study compared the effectiveness of vitamin b6 and dimenhydrinate for gestational nausea and vomiting.     materials and methods: one hundred ...

Objective- Vomiting is a common problem of administration of xylazine in cats. This study was conducted to evaluate prophylactic antiemetic efficacy of vitamin B6 in sedated cats with xylazine. Design- Experimental study Animals- Eight adult cats (from both genders) were selected. Procedures- All the cats were administered with intramuscular injection of normal saline or four increasing dosages...
