title: Effect of vitamin B6 on L-glutamate dehydrogenase activity in mice brain.
abstract: Investigations were carried out to obtain information on the effect of vitamin B6 level on L-glutamate dehydrogenase activity in mice brain. Subcutaneous and intracerebral injection of pyridoxal phosphate or pyridoxamine resulted in a significant enhancement of the L-glutamate dehydrogenase activity. In the case of pyridoxine, much larger doses and more prolonged time were necessary to exhibit the effect. The above effect of vitamin B6 was much more evidently observed in vitamin B6-deficient animals.
