Pyridoxamine is a specialized form of vitamin B6 easily converted in the body to
pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP), the active form of the vitamin.
6] status was determined by direct measurement of thiamin diphosphate (TDP), FAD, and
pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) in plasma, whole blood, or erythrocytes (1, 3, 15,16).
Homogeneous, nonradioactive, enzymatic assay for plasma
pyridoxal 5-phosphate.
The chemicals used were L-cysteine, D,L-homocysteine, L-methionine, adenosine (ADO), L-dithiothreitol, Triton X-100,
pyridoxal 5-phosphate, and potassium ferricyanide and were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co.
Pyridoxine reduces cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein and increases antithrombin III activity in 80-year-old men with low plasma
pyridoxal 5-phosphate.
