Abstract
Effect of riboflavin or pyridoxine deficiency and food restriction on plasma and tissue carnitine levels of male rats was examined. Food restriction produced significant rise in plasma as well as tissue carnitine levels perhaps due to lower growth and requirement. Riboflavin or pyridoxine deficiency produced significant reduction in plasma carnitine levels compared to adlib-fed as well as food-restricted controls. In riboflavin-deficient rats tissue carnitine levels also decreased marginally compared to food-restricted control. Pyridoxine deficiency did not have a similar effect.
