Abstract:
In 1949, Rinehart and Greenberg reported that marked arteriosclerosis occurs in vitamin-B6-deficient monkeys. The present study investigates the relationship between vitamin B6 and arteriosclerosis and summarizes the results. I found that thrombogenesis, disorder of collagen metabolism and production of free radicals may be the processes that cause arteriosclerosis in human and experimental animals with vitamin B6 deficiency.
