title: Is pyridoxine an essential nutrient for bone?
abstract: Plasma PLP and PL levels were drastically reduced in the B6-deficient group. The plasma and erythrocyte activities of AspAT were depressed by 35 and 15%, respectively. The B6-deficient diet also produced a slight decrease in the plasma levels of AP (holoenzyme and bone isoenzyme) and OH-Pro. This change was accompanied by a slight increase of Pi A negative correlation was found between plasma AP and PLP.
