Vitamin deficiency associated with increase xanthurenic acid excretion in urine?
Ans. B. Pyridoxine. (Ref. Harper, Biochemistry, 26th ed., 258)Harper, Biochemistry, 26th ed., 258 # Conversion of tryptophan metabolite 3 hydroxy kinurenine to 2 hydroxy antranilate is impaired in vitamin B6 deficiency; hence large amount of xa nth in urate is formed.PYRIDIOXINE DEFICIENCYDeficiency# Convulsions,# hyperirritability (deficiency inducible by INH and oral contraceptives),# peripheral neuropathy.FunctionA. Converted to pyridoxal phosphate,B. A cofactor used in:# 1. transamination (e.g., ALT and AST),# 2. decarboxylation reactions,# 3. glycogen phosphorylase, and# 4. heme synthesis.C. Required for the synthesis of niacin from tryptophan.Pyridoxine responsive diseases# Sideroblastic anaemia,# Xanthurenic aciduria,# Homocystinuria,# OxaluriaComposition of the Lipoproteins in Plasma of Humans.
