Serum pyridoxal (vitamin B6) concentrations were measured in 50 patients with significant diabetic neuropathy. There were 24 males and 26 females with a mean age of 58.2 years and a mean duration of diabetes of 9.8 years. The level of pyridoxal was significantly lower in these patients when compared with randomly selected diabetic patients matched for age and sex without clinical evidence of neuropathy. There was no significant difference in the duration of the diabetes between the two groups. The results indicate an association between pyridoxal deficiency and neuropathy in diabetic patients.
对50例患有严重糖尿病神经病变的患者测定了血清吡哆醛（维生素B6）浓度。其中男性24例，女性26例，平均年龄58.2岁，糖尿病平均病程9.8年。与年龄和性别匹配但无神经病变临床证据的随机选取的糖尿病患者相比，这些患者的吡哆醛水平显著更低。两组患者的糖尿病病程无显著差异。结果表明糖尿病患者中吡哆醛缺乏与神经病变之间存在关联。
