Abstract
The vitamin B6 status of 96 white and 90 black female adolescents was assessed utilizing plasma pyridoxal phosphate concentrations, coenzyme stimulation of erythrocyte alanine aminotransferase activities, and vitamin B6 intakes. These values were similar for the two race and three age groups. Fifty-eight percent of the girls reported consuming 25% were observed in 18% of the girls and values between 16 and 25%, in 23%. Plasma pyridoxal phosphate concentrations 6 inadequacy was prevalent among white and black southern adolescent girls participating in this study as indicated by plasma pyridoxal phosphate concentrations, coenzyme stimulation of erythrocyte alanine aminotransferase activities, and vitamin B6 intakes.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
