Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!ND: Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) contributes to the development of the central nervous system and may influence brain development and cognitive function. It may also prevent dental caries and protect the placental vascular bed. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review was to assess the effects of vitamin B6 supplementation during pregnancy and labour. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials register. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised trials of pyridoxine administration compared to a control group. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Trial quality was assessed and data were extracted by two reviewers. MAIN RESULTS: One trial involving 371 women was included. Pyridoxine supplementation either as oral capsules (odds ratio 0.63, 95% confidence interval 0. 41 to 0.95) or lozenges (odds ratio 0.33, 95% confidence interval 0. 22-0.51) was associated with decreased incidence of dental decay in pregnant women. REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS: There is not enough evidence to evaluate pyridoxine supplementation during pregnancy, although the results of one trial suggest that it may have a beneficial effect on dental decay.Publication Types: · Review · Review, academic PMID: 10796172 : Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2000;(2):CD000179 Related Articles, Books, LinkOut

Department of Environmental Health and the Program for Population Genetics, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02115, USA.[Record supplied by publisher]Little is known about the micronutrient status of Chinese women of childbearing age. We assessed nonfasting plasma concentrations of folic acid, vitamin B-12, vitamin B-6 (as pyridoxal-5'-phosphate), hemoglobin (Hb), ferritin and transferrin receptor (TfR) in 563 nonpregnant textile workers aged 21-34 y from Anqing, China. All women had obtained permission to become pregnant and were participating in a prospective study of pregnancy outcomes. Mean (SD) plasma concentrations were 9.7 (4.1) nmol/L folic acid, 367 (128) pmol/L vitamin B-12, 40.2 (15.8) nmol/L vitamin B-6, 108 (12. 9) g/L Hb, 42.6 (34.2) &mgr;g/L ferritin and 5.2 (2.7) mg/L TfR. Twenty-three percent of women had biochemical evidence of folic acid deficiency, 26% were deficient in vitamin B-6 and 10% had low vitamin B-12. Overall, 44% of women were deficient in at least one B vitamin. Although anemia (Hb < 120 g/L) was detected in 80% of women, only 17% had depleted iron stores (ferritin < 12 &mgr;g/L); 11% had elevated TfR concentrations. Distinct seasonal trends were observed in the prevalence of moderate anemia (Hb < 100 g/L) and deficiencies of folic acid and vitamin B-6, with significantly lower concentrations of folate and Hb occurring in summer and lower concentrations of vitamin B-6 occurring in winter and spring than in other seasons. We conclude that deficiencies of folic acid, vitamin B-6 and iron were relatively common in this sample of Chinese women of childbearing age and were contributing to the high prevalence of anemia. Without appropriate supplementation, these deficiencies could jeopardize the women's health and increase their risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.Med Hypotheses 2000 May;54(5):808-13 Related Articles, Books, LinkOut
Prenatal high-dose pyridoxine may prevent hypertension and syndrome X in-utero by protecting the fetus from excess glucocorticoid activity.McCarty MFPantox Laboratories, San Diego, California, USA.The increased risk for hypertension, insulin resistance syndrome, and coronary events associated with small-for-gestational-age birth, has plausibly been attributed to excessive prenatal exposure to glucocorticoids; this may up-regulate glucocorticoid activity throughout life by permanently decreasing expression of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors crucial for feedback control of cortisol secretion. Since pyridoxal phosphate is a safe physiological antagonist of glucocorticoid activity, it is proposed that prenatal supplementation with high-dose pyridoxine may counteract the adverse impact of glucocorticoids on fetal growth, as well as on subsequent cardiovascular risk.PMID: 10859692 : Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2000;(2):CD000179 Related Articles, Books, LinkOut
