All About Vitamins: Vitamin B6 In reduced Risk of hypertriglyceridemia

By Kyle J. Norton.

Vitamin B6 may have a positive and profound effect in reduced risk of hypertriglyceridemia some studies suggested.

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water soluble vitamin found abundantly in green peas, yams, broccoli, asparagus and turnip greens,Peanuts, sunflower seeds, cashews and hazelnuts, meat, fish etc., with functions of amino acid, carbohydrate metabolism, brain health, and liver detoxification, etc.

In the study to investigate the effect of lysine, vitamin B(6), and carnitine supplementation on both glycemia and the lipid profiles, specifically triglyceride (TG) levels of a total of 85 hypertriglyceridemic (TG> 150 mg/dL) male patients randomizedly assigned to 1 of 5 groups given supplements of lysine (1 g/d), vitamin B(6) (50 mg/d), lysine (1 g/d) + vitamin B(6) (50 mg/d), carnitine (1 g/d), or placebo for 12 weeks, after taking into account of other con founders, researchers filed the following report
1. VitaminB(6) supplementation given in an equated amount was associated with a significant reduction in total cholesterol and HDL-C of 10%.
2. Plasma total cholesterol TG was reduced by 36.6 mg/dL at 6 weeks
3. Administration of lysine and carnitine groups showed no change in lipid file

Interestingly, although chemical compound lysine and carnitine play an important role in alternating fat metabolism to induce hypertriglyceridemia, they have no impact in expression of total cholesterol and HDL-C concentrations

Further analysis, Dr. Hlais S the dead author said, "Vitamin B(6) supplementation in these male patients with hypertriglyceridemia reduced plasma total cholesterol and HDL-C concentrations". 

Other in the study to investigate the effect of elevated plasma concentrations of homocysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, are a risk factor for coronary, cerebral and peripheral artery disease caused by vitamin B6 and other micro nutrients deficiency suggested that the use of addition of folic acid, vitamin B12 and B6 to fibrates reduced intake of two important classes of drugs, lipid-lowering drugs and anti-hypertensive drugs, on homocysteine metabolism for prevention of CVD.

Dr. said, "(drugs) used for treatment of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol, are associated with an increase of homocysteine by 20%-50%".

Taking altogether, vitamin B6 have a significant effect in reduced risk of CVD through lowering the levels of bad cholesterol and total cholesterol and reduced production of  homocysteine drugs used for treatment hypertriglyceridemia.
