Vitamin B6 may have a profound effect in reduced symptoms of depression, a respectably university study suggested

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water soluble vitamin found abundantly in green peas, yams, broccoli, asparagus and turnip greens,Peanuts, sunflower seeds, cashews and hazelnuts, meat, fish etc., with functions of amino acid, carbohydrate metabolism, brain health, and liver detoxification, etc.

In the study of evaluated 140 individuals' symptoms of depression by the Major Depression Inventory, and biochemical markers of vitamin B deficiency, researchers filed the following results
1. 18 (13%) individuals were depressed. A low plasma level of PLP(v the phosphate derivative of vitamin B6 in plasma) was significantly associated with the depression score
2. Depression was not associated to other vitamin B such as plasma vitamin B12 (p=0.13), plasma methylmalonic acid (p=0.67), erythrocyte folate (p=0.77), and plasma total homocysteine (p=0.16).

The study highly suggested that a low level of plasma PLP may also have a negative effect in symptoms expression.of depression.

Other, in the study of "The Effects of Vitamin B in Depression" suggested that vitamin B6 not only plays an important role in reduced symptoms of psychiatric disorders but also.required in proper functioning of the methylation cycle, monoamine oxidase production, DNA synthesis and the repair and maintenance of phospholipids.

And vitamin B6 deficiency was associated to risk of depression and exaggerated complexity of depressive symptoms.

Dr. Mikkelsen K, the led author said,"Vitamin B deficiency could influence memory function, cognitive impairment and dementia" and "deficiencies have been linked to depression".
