  • Title: Effect of oral methionine and vitamin E on blood lipid peroxidation in vitamin B6 deficient rats.
    Author: Selvam R, Ravichandran V.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1991 Apr; 23(6):1007-17. PubMed ID: 1953796.
    Abstract:
    Lipid peroxidation in blood of vitamin B6 deficient rats was significantly increased when compared to pair-fed controls. The observed increased lipid peroxidation in vitamin B6 deficiency was correlated with high levels of lipids, metal ions and low levels of antioxidants, alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and reduced GSH. Supplementation of methionine or vitamin E along with the vitamin B6 deficient diet restored the levels of antioxidants to near normal and also protected against oxidative stress. However plasma TBARS level as well as total lipids were still elevated in M-B6 diet fed rats and normalized in E-B6-d rats.
