Fatty Livers in Vitamin B₆ Deficient Rats

Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York

A study was made of the lipid content of livers of rats deficient invitamin B₆, as compared with normal animals and with deficient animals which had been given choline.

The results show a significantly heavier liver containing a higher percentage of total fatty acids in the deficient animals. The addition of choline remedied the condition to a large extent, but even massive doses failed to bring the liver weight and total fatty acid content quite to normal.

Storage of the lipid extracts for a period of about 3 months resulted in losses in both total fatty acids and phospholipid fatty acids, no change in total cholesterol values and a definite drop in all iodine numbers.
