-Vitamin B<sub>6</sub> is '''light sensitive and prone to degradation with heat processing'''. Conditions associated with diuresis (e.g., chronic disease, such as renal disease or [[Diabetes Insipidus|diabetes]], or therapeutic intervention, such as intravenous fluids or increased water intake with management of [[Cystitis|lower urinary diseases]]) can result in increased loss of Vitamin B<sub>6</sub> and may increase daily requirements. Patients on chronic haemodialysis are at an increased risk for development of deficiency.

-Vitamin B<sub>6</sub> as PLP is an essential cofactor for glycogen phosphorylase during gluconeogenesis.

PLP is also required for synthesis of [[Taurine - Nutrition|taurine]], dopamine, histamine, and norepinephrine, and is involved in multiple steps in the conversion of [[Tryptophan - Nutrition|tryptophan]] to [[Vitamin B3 (Niacin) - Nutrition|niacin]]<ref>Shane B.

 ==What is Vitamin B<sub>6</sub> (Pyridoxine)?==
-Vitamin B<sub>6</sub>, also commonly called '''pyridoxine''', is an '''essential water-soluble vitamin''' used as a [[Nutrition Glossary#Cofactor|cofactor]] in a number of enzymatic reactions. Vitamin B<sub>6</sub> in the diet is found as pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine all of which are hydrolysed by a phosphatase before absorption across the intestinal mucosa by [[Diffusion - Physiology|passive diffusion]]. Once within the enterocyte the hydrolysed vitamin B<sub>6</sub> derivative is phosphorylated by pyridoxine kinase and transported to the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] for continued metabolism to its '''active form, pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP)'''. In the liver PLP is bound to [[albumin]] and then transported to target tissues. Large concentrations of pyridoxine are found in [[Muscle Development - Anatomy & Physiology|muscle]], but this depot is not available during periods of Vitamin B<sub>6</sub> deficiency and is only released during muscle catabolism. Vitamin B<sub>6</sub> derivatives are freely filtered by the [[Nephron Microscopic Anatomy#Proximal Tubule|renal tubules]].
