Detailed Description:
Subjects will undergo a prescreen visit where blood is taken to determine B6 levels, If the levels are low < 30pg then they are eligible for the study. They undergo a screening visit, have a history and physical and routine labs drawn. If within normal limited admitted to the clinical research center overnight. The next morning they have two IV's inserted one in each arm. In one arm is an infusion of amino acids, serine, methionine and leucine. The other IV is used to collect blood samples. It takes 9 hours for the infusion to be completed. The subject is sent home with vitamin B6 tablets that they will take for 30 days and come in once a week for B6 level checks. At the end of the month the infusion is repeated.
