Application

Pyridoxine hydrochloride has been used to test its neuroprotective functionality in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rats. It has also been used as a reference standard to quantify vitamin B6 in feed and digesta samples using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyridoxine plays a key role in metabolism both carbohydrates and amino acids. It supports brain development and its deficiency levels may lead to depletion of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels. Pyridoxine catalyzes the neurotransmitter biosynthesis like dopamine and serotonin. Pyridoxine in excess or deficient may lead to neuropathy.

General description

Vitamin B group is water-soluble and exists in six forms namely the pyridoxal, pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate, pyridoxine 5′-phosphate and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The food sources of vitamin B6 include grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables and meat.
