Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which a diet deficient in pyridoxine (vitamin B6) would affect protein
Introduction:
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) is a very important vitamin and also act as a coenzyme as well. It is found in foods such as cereals, beans, meat, eggs but now a days it is also being prepared artificially in labs. It is used for curing diseases like anemia, coronary diseases and many other problems like high BP (blood pressure), stroke and so on.

How would a diet deficient in vitamin B6 affect protein metabolism?
The body doesn’t have a reserve of proteins or amino acids for energy production. Which class of protein may be used initially during fasting to maintain glucose and energy levels? What is the difference between a glucogenic and ketogenic amino acid and why are both important during fasting?
How does a ketogenic diet decrease the level of urea in obese patients and increase the level of creatine in obese patients? (explain on a molecular level)
