Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin and part of the B-complex vitamin group. Many forms of vitamins are known, but pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is the active form and a cofactor for many amino acid metabolism reactions, including transamination, deamination, and decarboxylation. PLP is also required for the enzymatic reaction that controls the release of glucose from glycogen.
Function:
A more specific sign of B6 deficiency is the nature of the nervous condition that develops. Deficient chicks are abnormally excitable. As deprivation continues, nervous disorders become increasingly severe . There is trembling and vibration of the tip of the tail, with movement stiff and jerky. Chicks run aimlessly about with lowered head and drooping wings . Finally, convulsions develop, during which chicks fall on their side or back, with the legs scrabbling. Violent convulsions cause complete exhaustion and may lead to death . These clinical signs may be distinguished from those of encephalomalacia by the greater intensity of activity during a B6deficiency seizure, which results in complete exhaustion and often death.
