The developmental profile of fatty acid elongation enzymes of rat brain microsomes and mitochondria and the consequences of pyridoxine deficiency have been investigated. The results suggest that a single enzyme system is responsible for elongation of the various fatty acids by mitochondria whereas t

โฆ Synopsis
The non-hydroxy fatty acids of the galactolipid fraction of brain lipids of pyridoxine-deficient rats have been analyzed. The results suggest an impairment in the pathway for the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids in the brain of pyridoxine-deficient rats.

The effects of a large number of neurotropic drugs have been attributed to changes in the metabolism of 5-hydroxytryptamine. The aromatic amino acid decarboxylase considered to decarboxylate both dihydroxyphenylalanine and 5-hydroxytryptophan requires pyridoxal phosphate as coenzyme. Thus, in pyrido
