Vitamin B6 was given as pyridoxine (PN) and its content was different in different diets. The diet was strictly defined as Non-VB6 Diet, Normal-VB6 Diet, and Excessive-VB6 Diet, which contained 0, 12 mg, and 120 mg of vitamin B6 per kg diet, respectively. The Excessive-VB6 Diet was mixed with 10 times vitamin B6 of the daily recommended intake.
