The purpose of this study were to investigate the effect of fasting and vitamin B6 repletion on tissue concentration of pyridoxal 5-phosphate and urinary excreteion of 4-pyridoxic acid in vitamin B6 deficient rats. Sixty six rats(6 per group) were fed either a vitamin B6 deficient diet (-B6) or a control diet (+B6) for 6 weeks and then rats were repleted with +B6 diet for 2 weeks. Rats were fasted for 1 and 3 days and for 3 days after repletion. Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) concentration in plasma, liver, skeletal muscle, and heart muscle and urinary 4-pyridoxic acid (4-PA) excretion were compared. Fasting resulted in a significant increase in PLP concentration in the plasma, liver and heart muscle of rats fed the -B6 diet. Skeletal muscle PLP concentration was significantly decreased in +B6 rats but not in -B6 rats. Following vitamin B6 repletion, PLP concentration in the plasma, liver and heart muscle in previously -B6 rats was similar to the respective concentration in +B6 rats while PLP concentration in the skeletal muscle of previously -B6 rats increased, but it was not reached to that of +B6 rats. At day 1 and 2 of the fast, urinary 4-PT excretion increased in both +B6 and -B6 rats although there was no supply of vitamin B6 due to fasting. These results suggest that vitami B6 is redistributed as PLP when there is a caloric deficit and PLP is supplied by an endogenous source, possibly PLP bound to skeletal muscle glycogen phosphorylase.

Vitamin B-2와 Vitamin B-6 결핍이 hematologic profile에 미치는 영향을 in vivo 계에서 알고보고자 하였다. 흰쥐에게 Vitamin B-2 결핍(-B2)식이, Vitamin B-6결핍(-B6)식이, Vitamin B-2와 Vitamin B-6복합 결핍(-B2-B6) 식이 또는 통제 식이를 6주 동안 공급한 후 희생시켜 Hematocrit (Ht), Hemoglobin(Hb), 혈장철 (PI), Transferrin포화도 (TS), 간장철 (LI)를 비교하였다. 통제군에 비하여 -B2군에서는 PI, TS, LI가 유의하게 낮았으나 Ht와 Hb은 유의한 차이가 없으며, -B6군에서는 Ht와 Hb는 유의하게 낮았으나 LI는 유의하게 높았다. 통제군에 비하여 -B2-B6군에서는 Hb, PI, TS, LI가 -B2군과 -B6군의 중간수준이었으며 Ht는 낮은 수준을 나타냈다. 2주간의 보충식이 후에는 -B2군과 -B6군에서 모든 혈액지표와 LI가 개선된 것으로 나타났다. 본연구의 결과는 Vitamin B-2와 Vitamin B-6의 섭취가 영양적 빈혈군에서 혈액 지표를 개선시켜 빈혈의 예방또는 치료에 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.
