Vitamin B6 is a fascinating molecule involved in the vast majority of changes in the human body because it is a coenzyme involved in over 150 biochemical reactions. It is active in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acids, and participates in cellular signaling. It is an antioxidant and a compound with the ability to lower the advanced glycation end products (AGE) level. In this review, we briefly summarize its involvement in biochemical pathways and consider whether its deficiency may be associated with various diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or the prognosis of COVID-19.
维生素 B6 是一种引人入胜的分子，它参与了人体绝大多数的变化，因为它是一种参与超过 150 种生化反应的辅酶。它在碳水化合物、脂肪、氨基酸和核酸的代谢中活跃，并参与细胞信号传递。它是一种抗氧化剂，也是一种具有降低晚期糖基化终产物（AGE）水平的化合物。在这篇综述中，我们简要总结了它在生化途径中的参与情况，并考虑了其缺乏是否可能与各种疾病（如糖尿病、心脏病、癌症或 COVID-19 的预后）有关。
