Effect of energy restriction and exercise on vitamin B-6 of women during lactation

Article Abstract:

This article examines the vitamin B-6 status of lactating women, since exercise increases the the utilization and excretion of the vitamin as does breast feeding. Results showed that exercise and energy restriction among overweight, breastfeeding women from 4-14 postpartum weeks does not effect vitamin B-6, if adequate dietary intakes are consumed and B-6 is supplemented.

Effect of vitamin B-6 supplementation on fuels, catecholamines, and amino acids during exercise in men

Article Abstract:

Vitamin B-6 supplementation likely can alter amino acid and plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations during exhaustive endurance exercise without affecting endurance. The effect of vitamin B-6 supplementation during exercise has been studied on catecholamines, plasma energy substrates, and 13 amino acid concentrations using 11 trained male subjects.
