pyridoxine has been researched along with Retinal Degeneration in 23 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).

Retinal Degeneration: A retrogressive pathological change in the retina, focal or generalized, caused by genetic defects, inflammation, trauma, vascular disease, or aging. Degeneration affecting predominantly the macula lutea of the retina is MACULAR DEGENERATION. (Newell, Ophthalmology: Principles and Concepts, 7th ed, p304)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Five patients, ages 12 to 30, with gyrate atrophy have shown substantial (60% or greater) decreases in plasma ornithine concentrations within four to eight weeks when placed on a therapeutic trial of low-protein (10-15 g/day), low-arginine diets supplemented with essential amino acids (EAA) and pyridoxine hydrochloride."7.66Ocular findings in patients with gyrate atrophy on pyridoxine and low-protein, low-arginine diets. ( Berson, EL; Shih, VE; Sullivan, PL, 1981)
"Gyrate atrophy is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the ornithine-δ-amino transferase gene."3.88Unique case of gyrate atrophy with a well-preserved electroretinogram (ERG). ( Black, G; Jasani, KM; Kelly, SP; Parry, NRA, 2018)
"The purpose of this study was to characterize the mutant enzyme in nine patients with gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina associated with ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) deficiency, to elucidate the mechanism of response to pyridoxine in four pyridoxine-responsive patients, and to determine the extent of genetic heterogeneity in both groups of patients."3.67Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina: characterization of mutant ornithine aminotransferase and mechanism of response to vitamin B6. ( Kennaway, NG; Stankova, L; Weleber, RG; Wirtz, MK, 1989)
"Seven patients with gyrate atrophy and deficiency of ornithine-delta-aminotransferase were studied for in vivo pyridoxine responsiveness; three responded to oral vitamin B6 with over 50% reduction of serum ornithine levels and return to normal of serum lysine levels."3.66Clinical trial of vitamin B6 for gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina. ( Kennaway, NG; Weleber, RG, 1981)
"Five patients, ages 12 to 30, with gyrate atrophy have shown substantial (60% or greater) decreases in plasma ornithine concentrations within four to eight weeks when placed on a therapeutic trial of low-protein (10-15 g/day), low-arginine diets supplemented with essential amino acids (EAA) and pyridoxine hydrochloride."3.66Ocular findings in patients with gyrate atrophy on pyridoxine and low-protein, low-arginine diets. ( Berson, EL; Shih, VE; Sullivan, PL, 1981)
" Additionally, one of our patients responded to high dosage vitamin B6 with a 27% reduction in plasma ornithine."1.26Clinical and biochemical heterogeneity in gyrate atrophy. ( Bron, AJ; Kaiser-Kupfer, MI; Valle, D, 1980)
