pyridoxine and Anorexia Nervosa

pyridoxine has been researched along with Anorexia Nervosa in 7 studies

4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridin-3-ol: structure in first source
vitamin B6 : Any member of the group of pyridines that exhibit biological activity against vitamin B6 deficiency. Vitamin B6 deficiency is associated with microcytic anemia, electroencephalographic abnormalities, dermatitis with cheilosis (scaling on the lips and cracks at the corners of the mouth) and glossitis (swollen tongue), depression and confusion, and weakened immune function. Vitamin B6 consists of the vitamers pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine and their respective 5'-phosphate esters (and includes their corresponding ionized and salt forms).

Anorexia Nervosa: An eating disorder that is characterized by the lack or loss of APPETITE, known as ANOREXIA. Other features include excess fear of becoming OVERWEIGHT; BODY IMAGE disturbance; significant WEIGHT LOSS; refusal to maintain minimal normal weight; and AMENORRHEA. This disorder occurs most frequently in adolescent females. (APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 1994)

Trial Outcomes

Average Daily Added Sugar Intake Inferred From Self-reported Dietary Data in the Subgroups of Malodor

The measurement of dietary intake of selected nutrients from self-reported food intakes and diet history questionnaires. Correlation of symptoms with added sugar in the diet were noted independently on the source of malodor. (NCT02692495)
Timeframe: Three years

Interventiongrams per day (Mean)
"Sour Group"5
"Sweet Group"25
"Lactic Subgroup"20

Discriminative Biomarkers in the Subgroups of Malodor

"The investigators have comprehensively analyzed diagnostic ability of tests taken by participants to correlate with their symptoms using several statistical techniques known to bring out strong patterns in a dataset. Principal component analysis (PCA) allowed to clearly separate data into two clusters (Sour and Sweet) shown below along with the Lactic subgroup from the Sour group." (NCT02692495)

Number of Test Results Outside the Normal Range

The investigators would like to evaluate the strength of evidence in diagnostic accuracy of laboratory tests taken by participants (listed in the detailed description of the study), for diagnosing malodor syndromes. Values measured by the laboratory (Biolab Medical Unit) will be compared against the reference range specific to that laboratory. (NCT02692495)
