Pyridoxine in pregnancy

Brown et al. (B25) confirmed the results of Coppini and Camurri (C9) on excretion of kynurenic and xanthurenic acids and, at the same time, examined the excretion of other tryptophan metabolites. Their data indicate that the high levels of all urinary metabolites excreted by pregnant subjects were lowered by pyridoxine administration. It must be remembered that the requirement for pyridoxine in pregnancy varies in the different animal species (C6). It was also found that the levels of pyridoxine in the fetal blood are elevated whereas those of maternal blood decrease (GIO).
