Dependence of urinary metabolites on vitamin B-6 status. Vitamin B-6 deficiency was simulated by decreasing PLP concentration in the model. The relative vitamin B-6 status was designated as follows: adequate, 0.7 to 1; moderate deficiency, 0.3 to 0.7; and deficiency, 0.01 to 0.3. AA, anthranilic acid; HaA, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid; HK, 3-hydroxykynurenine; KA, kynurenic acid; Kyn, kynurenine; PLP, pyridoxal 5′-phosphate; XA, xanthurenic acid.
