A Study of the Effect of Deoxypyridoxine or Isoniazid upon Mineral Retention and Liver Enzyme Activities of Pyridoxine-Deficient Male Rats

Abstract
Based upon the responses (growth rate, hepatic glutamic-aspartic transaminase and cysteine desulfhydrase activities, and retention of dietary Ca, Mg, Na and K) of 15 groups of 4 rats fed a pyridoxine-free basal diet or the same plus either deoxypyridoxine (DOP), isoniazid (INH), or pyridoxine, the following conclusions seem warranted:
