Deficiency also results in decreased conversion of tryptophan into niacin. A test for deficiency is to measure glutathione reductase levels, which are depressed when riboflavin levels are low as are xanthine oxidase levels. There is a link between riboflavin deficiency in pregnancy and the development of pre-eclampsia. However, supplementation with riboflavin in a trial indicated that there was no effect on the prevention of pre-eclampsia. Alcoholics are at increased risk of riboflavin deficiency as...
