The aims of this study were to define normal human placental transport of pyridoxal, an important form of vitamin B6 in pregnancy, and to determine the effect of short-term alcohol on this process. Our studies used the isolated single cotyledon from the term placenta. Pyridoxal crossed the human placenta readily in both directions, but the transfer was a little less than half that of antipyrine and was significantly greater in the direction of the fetus. Pyridoxine appeared to have a similar clearance from the maternal compartment as pyridoxal, but transport of intact pyridoxal 5'-phosphate was much smaller. There was no saturable transfer of pyridoxal, and it was not transferred from the maternal to fetal compartments against a concentration gradient. Placental concentration of pyridoxal exceeded both maternal and fetal perfusate pyridoxal concentrations, but this concentration was equal for both perfusion directions. These composite data are most suggestive of passive transport of pyridoxal across the placenta, binding of the vitamin in the placenta as an explanation for its concentration there, and greater phosphorylation of pyridoxal in the placenta when the compound is transferred in the fetal direction, possibly displacing pyridoxal from its binding sites and permitting its greater release into the fetal compartment. Alcohol, 400-250 mg/dl over 2.5 h, inhibited the transport of pyridoxal from the maternal to fetal compartments by approximately 42% (P = 0.03) and resulted in a lower transfer of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate into the fetal perfusate (P = 0.02).

Background: Endocrine system changes during pregnancy are important to keep the pregnancy, fetal growth and post partum recovery. Around 50-90% of pregnant women experience vomit and nausea. To solve those problems, ‘pisang ambon’ (Musa paradisiacal) consumption is one of choices because of its flavonoid and vitamin B6 which can overcome vomit and nausea in pregnancy. Objective: The aim of this research was to identify the effectiveness between pisang ambon (Musa paradisiacal) consumption and vitamin B6 to reduce hyperemesis gravidarum in BPM Endah Bekti. Methods: A quasy experimental design with two-group posttest only was assigned to 20 pregnant women on their first trimester. First ten sample was given vitamin B6 and the other ten sample were given vitamin B6 plus pisang ambon. Data were then analyzed using two independent mean difference test. Results: The result shows that in vitamin B6 consumption for hyperemesis gravidarum in 10% pregnant women were in the effective category. While in the pisang ambon consumption shows 100% of pregnant women are in the effective category. Conclusion: There is difference in effectiveness between vitamin B6 and pisang ambon consumption to overcome hyperemesis gravidarum (p=0,003<α).   Keywords: Hiperemesis gravidarum, vitamin B6, Pisang ambon

Vitamin B6 Deficiency ◽  
In Pregnancy

Vitamin B6 is required for the activity of a large number of enzymes with varied essential functions. Along with other B vitamins, it is involved in the metabolism of homocysteine to cysteine; if this reaction is disrupted, blood homocysteine levels rise, along with increased risks for cardiovascular disease, neuropsychiatric problems, and other adverse effects. Elevated homocysteine in pregnancy it is associated with anaemia, pre-eclampsia, preterm birth, and low birthweight. Vitamin B6 deficiency can also affect fetal brain development, as well as weight gain and linear growth in infancy. Although vitamin B6 is widely available in foods, mild to moderate deficiency is still common, even in developed countries. A #amp;#x2018;Mediterranean-style#amp;#x2019; diet is recommended to supply sufficient amounts of vitamin B6. In individuals with an adequate and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, supplementation is generally unnecessary.
