Vitamin B6 intakes and 24-hr 4-pyridoxic acid excretions of children

Abstract: Vitamin B6 intake and 4-pyridoxic acid excretions of 22 children were determined. Mean intake of vitamin B6 per day was 1.10 mg +/- 0.47. Mean percentage of vitamin B6 intake excreted as 4-pyridoxic acid was 48% +/- 23. Excretion of 4-pyridoxic acid was significantly correlated to vitamin B6 intake but not to vitamin B6/protein ratios or vitamin B6/kilocalorie levels. Excretions of 4-pyridoxic acid equal to or below 0.15 mg appeared to be indicative of poor vitamin B6 intake for the children which was similar … Show more

“…4-Pyridoxic acid, the catabolic product of vitamin B 6 , was another differential metabolite related to AD, identified with the highest FC value in this study. A previous study has demonstrated the significant correlation between inadequate vitamin B 6 intake and the 24-h 4-pyridoxic acid excretions of 0.15 mg or less ( Lewis and Nunn, 1977 ). Additionally, acetaldehyde can act as a responsible agent accelerating the pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (a metabolically active form of vitamin B 6 ) degradation into 4-pyridoxic acid ( Vech et al, 1975 ).…”

“…As the main catabolic product of vitamin B6, urinary 4-pyridoxic acid level is significantly associated with the circulating level of vitamin B6 48 . Vitamin B6 itself is only modestly associated with inflammation; however, the PAr ratio [4-pyridoxic acid/ (pyridoxal + pyridoxal 5′-phosphate)] is an indicator of vitamin B6 catabolism during inflammation, which is also a risk factor for carcinogenesis 49 , 50 .…”

“…Considering that data relating vitamin B6 intake and status in children and adolescents were limited (Bessey et al., ; Lewis and Nunn, ; Driskell and Moak, ), Afssa () derived PRIs according to sex and age from adult values, adjusting for square height considered to be representative of lean body mass.…”
