Succinic and NaDH 2 Dehydrogenase in Livers of Vitamin B 6 -Deficient Rats. ∗

Abstract

Summary

In histochemical studies fatty change in the livers of Vit. B₆-deficient rats was associated with reduction in SD activity in the centrolobular portions. In homogenate assays of non-fatty portions of liver, Vit. B₆-deficiency had no effect on the SD activity. The deficiency significantly reduced the NADH₂D activity, however, even after the nonspecific effect of undernutrition and fatty change had been eliminated.
