ObjectiveVitamins B6 and B12 are involved in metabolic processes that decrease neural excitation and increase inhibition. This double-blind study investigated the effects of supplementation for 1 month with a high-dose of B6 or B12, compared to placebo, on a range of behavioural outcome measures connected to the balance between neural inhibition and excitation.Methods478 young adults… Continue reading High-dose Vitamin B6 supplementation reduces anxiety and strengthens visual surround suppression

Vitamin #B6 Addiction in Acute Myeloid #Leukemia
Cancer cells rely on altered metabolism to support abnormal proliferation. We performed a CRISPR/Cas9 functional genomic screen targeting metabolic enzymes and identified PDXK—an enzyme that produces pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) from vitamin B6—as an acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-selective dependency.. PDXK kinase activity is required for PLP production and AML cell proliferation, and pharmacological blockade of the… Continue reading Vitamin #B6 Addiction in Acute Myeloid #Leukemia
