Excerpt:

 The purpose of this study was to investigate whether vitamin B6 supplementation had a beneficial effect on inflammatory and immune responses in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

In the group receiving vitamin B6, plasma IL-6 and TNF-α levels significantly decreased at week 12. There were no significant changes with respect to immune responses in both groups except for the percentage of total lymphocytes in the vitamin B6 group when compared with week 0 and week 12. Plasma IL-6 level remained significantly inversely related to plasma PLP after adjusting for confounders (β=−0.01, P=0.01).
