Vitamin B<sub>6</sub> Deficiency and Dietary Fats: Effects on Lipid Composition and Glutathione Peroxidase Activity in Rat Liver

Abstract: Dietary selenium, vitamin B6 and fatty acids modulate both tissue acyl composition by regulating polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism and antioxidant defences by influencing glutathione peroxidase activity. Alteration in the intake of one of them could therefore lead to different results depending on the intake of the others. To clarify this complex relationship, in the present study we have evaluated the modifications occurring in fatty acid composition and glutathione peroxidase activity in total… Show more

“…First, GSH/GSSG ratio was significantly lower in vitamin B 6 deficient rats in pre-exercise. This decreased activity of antioxidant enzymes has been also reported in vitamin B 6 deficiency (Bordoni et al, 2006; Selvam & Ravichandran, 1993). Decreased GSH/GSSG ratio suggests a degraded antioxidant protection, which may have contributed to the higher exercise-induced ROS following vitamin B 6 deficient diet.…”

“…B 6 acts as a cofactor and antioxidant (Chen and Xiong 2005). As previously mentioned that vitamin B 6 seemed to be associated with some defense mechanisms especially against lipid peroxidation in the tissues, this process occured when the animals are totally lacked in the vitamin B 6 in the diet (Bordoni et al 2006). Ullegaddi et al (2006) stated that the supplementation with antioxidant vitamins and B-group vitamins separately or together caused a significant reduction in the plasma MDA concentration in the subjects in contrast to the increase seen in the control group.…”

“…Thus, VitB6 is required for biosynthesis and metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and a great diversity of further relevant bioactive substances. 14 Plasma reference values for humans range from 23 to 223 nmol/l. 5…”

“…Furthermore, there is evidence that VitB6 deficiency is associated with alterations in lipid and phospholipid metabolism. 4,2024 In particular, insufficient synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) contributes to hepatic impairment by triacylglyceride (TAG) accumulation via decreased secretion of lipoproteins (VLDL). 25,26 VitB6-dependent restriction of liver function is of central impact in the early phase of development.…”
