title: Effects of penicillamine on the contents of B6 vitamers of the mouse brain.
abstract: The contents of B6 vitamers were measured in the brains of mice treated with DL- and D-PeA. When a single convulsant dose of DL-PeA was injected, PLP content was decreased, being accompanied with production of PLP-thiazolidine. The effect of DL-PeA on PLP content was evident far before the occurrence of the convulsions. The administration of PN together with DL-PeA prevented the onset of seizures and lessened the effect of DL-PeA on PLP content. The same amount of D-PeA did not invoke seizures, but caused a small but significant decrease in PLP content.
