BACKGROUND: The effects of vitamin B-6 status on steady-state kinetics of homocysteine metabolism in humans are unclear. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine the effects of dietary vitamin B-6 restriction on the rates of homocysteine remethylation and synthesis in healthy humans. DESIGN: Primed, constant infusions of [(13)C(5)]methionine, [3-(13)C]serine, and [(2)H(3)]leucine were conducted in healthy female (n=5) and male (n=4) volunteers (20-30 y) before and after 4 wk of dietary vitamin B-6 restriction (
