It is shown that B2 vitamin-deficient subjects have reduced urinary excretion of 4-pyridoxic acid (4-PA) compared to normal subjects. Correlation between the total of the pyridoxal coenzymes in human plasma and 4-PA urinary excretion takes place only under adequate intake of riboflavin. The conditions under which measurements of 4-PA excretion and plasma levels of pyridoxal and pyridoxal phosphate can be used as indicators of B6-vitamin sufficiency are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011730 Pyridoxal The 4-carboxyaldehyde form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid.
D011732 Pyridoxal Phosphate This is the active form of VITAMIN B 6 serving as a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (PYRIDOXAMINE). Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate,Pyridoxal-P,Phosphate, Pyridoxal,Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate,Pyridoxal P
D011735 Pyridoxic Acid The catabolic product of most of VITAMIN B 6; (PYRIDOXINE; PYRIDOXAL; and PYRIDOXAMINE) which is excreted in the urine. Pyridoxinecarboxylic Acid,4-Pyridoxic Acid,4-Pyridoxinic Acid,4-Pyridoxylic Acid,4 Pyridoxic Acid,4 Pyridoxinic Acid,4 Pyridoxylic Acid
D011736 Pyridoxine The 4-methanol form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990).
