Clinical trials with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) as an antitumor agent have so far given rather disappointing results. In this study we show that the naturally occurring vitamin B6 compound, pyridoxine, enhances TNF-induced cytolysis of three subclones of a mouse fibrosarcoma cell line (WEHI 164).
The effects of dietary pyridoxine (PN) on the gill immunity, apoptosis, antioxidant and tight junction of grass cap (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were investigated in this study. Fish were fed semi-purified diets containing graded levels of PN for 10 weeks, and then challenged with Flavobacterium
Excess ingestion of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) causes a severe sensory neuropathy in humans. The mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, and studies of pyridoxine neuropathy in experimental animals have yielded disparate results. Pyridoxine intoxication appears to produce a neuropathy
We examined the sequence of nervous system abnormalities that resulted when rats were given excess amounts of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). High doses of pyridoxine (1,200 or 600 mg/kg/d) for 6 to 10 days caused a neuronopathy with necrosis of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons, accompanied by
Two cases are presented which suggest that pyridoxine injected into a Mitomycin-C extravasation site may slow or prevent necrosis, and may decrease the pain associated with the chronic ulceration of extravasation.
A male patient with portal hypertension, portal vein thrombosis, spontaneous splenorenal shunt formation, and encephalopathy, thought to have post-hepatitis B cirrhosis, is described. His condition deteriorated and necessitated liver transplantation. In the explant liver, nodular regenerative
Steatosis was induced in rabbits by subacute administration of isoniazid (INH, 50 mg/kg po). Concomitant treatment with pyridoxine (vitamin B6, 25 mg/kg po) antagonized both development of the hepatic lesions and the elevation of plasma concentrations of lipids. Rabbit acetylating ability was
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have subnormal vitamin B6 status, both quantitatively and functionally. Abnormal vitamin B6 status in rheumatoid arthritis has been associated with spontaneous tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production and markers of inflammation, including C-reactive protein
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary pyridoxine (PN) deficiency on growth performance, intestinal immune function and the potential regulation mechanisms in young grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Fish were fed six diets containing graded levels of PN (0.12-7.48
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a pharmacoresistant epileptogenic encephalopathy controlled by pyridoxine supplementation at pharmacological doses. Despite supplementation, the long-term outcome is often poor possibly because of recurrent seizures and developmental structural brain
This manuscript reports three independent accidental cases of vitamin (Vit) B6 toxicosis in gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus) and peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) and a toxicology study that was conducted to characterize the clinical responses of gyrfalcons and gyrfalcon × peregrine falcons to a
BACKGROUND
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is frequently performed and effective; however, perioperative complications related to ischemia-reperfusion injury, including myocardial infarction (MI), remain common and result in significant morbidity and mortality. MC-1, a naturally
METHODS
Previous reports in the areas of animal studies and, recently epidemiology, have linked anti-tumorigenic and anti-inflammatory effects to dietary vitamin B6. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of these effects of vitamin B6.
RESULTS
DNA microarray analysis was used to obtain
The early onset of atherosclerotic lesions in homocystinuric individuals has implicated homocyst(e)ine in the development of atherosclerosis. Two trials were conducted in which diets totally or partially deficient in vitamin B-6 were fed to pigs to investigate the accumulation of homocyst(e)ine in
