Marginal deficiency of vitamin B6 has recently been related to cardiovascular diseases. Because of that there is an increasing interest in a suitable and reliable method for quantifying this vitamin in routine laboratory medicine. We have developed a HPLCbased method able to quantify the B6 vitamers

Plasma and urine from individuals ingesting large amounts of vitamin B 6 contain several unidentified vitamin B 6 metabolites. Based on movement in 6 TLC solvents, elution in HPLC, and ultraviolet and infrared spectra, two of these metabolites have been identified as 5-pyridoxic acid and its lactone
Methods have been developed for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of vitamin B6 forms in biological samples by isotope dilution mass spectrometry using deuterated forms of pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxic acid. The biological fluid or tissue sample was homogenized and then tre
