Reproductive performance in female rats was supported by an intake of 15 micro g or more pyridoxine per day and growth of young rats by 10 to 15 micro g. Higher vitamin intakes up to 8000 micro g for 4 weeks had no adverse effect. An intake of 20 micro g or more daily was necessary for highest alanine aminotransferase activity in liver and erythrocytes of pregnant animals. Activity in erythrocytes was less affected by pregnancy than that in the liver.
