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
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
