Application

Pyridoxine hydrochloride has been used to test its neuroprotective functionality in traumaticbrain injury(TBI)rats. It has also been used as a reference standard to quantify vitamin B₆ in feed and digesta samples using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyridoxine plays a key role in metabolism both carbohydrates and amino acids. It supports brain development and its deficiency levels may lead to depletion of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels. Pyridoxine catalyzes the neurotransmitter biosynthesis like dopamine and serotonin. Pyridoxine in excess or deficient may lead to neuropathy.

General description
