“…Increased glycine has been reported in liver (49,50), muscle, and plasma of vitamin B-6-deficient rats (50,51), in the plasma of vitamin B-6-deficient humans (16,18,20,23), and in vitamin B-6restricted cultured cells (52), concurrent with modeling predictions (24). Major processes for the metabolism of glycine include PLP-dependent reactions catalyzed by serine hydroxymethyltransferase isoforms and by glycine decarboxylase in the glycine cleavage system (53).…”
