There is no argument against the value of pulses from a general nutri- tional standpoint, but whether they contain significant levels of true vitamin BIZ remains to be proven. BLOOD TRANSAMINASE AND PYRIDOXINE Although most workers agree that pyridoxal phosphate is the coenzyme for the transaminase enzymes, there has been little work upon the relationships between pyridoxine intake and transaminase levels in the tissues. The report of M. E. Marsh, L. D. Greenberg, and J. F. Rinehart ( J . Nutrition 66, 115 (1955)) on the effects of pyridoxine intake upon blood levels of transaminase and pyridoxine is thus of considerable interest. The studies were done with monkeys and human volunteer subjects. Transaminase in blood hemolysates was determined by the method of N. E. Tonhazy, N. G. White, and W. W. Umbreit (Arch. Biochem. 28, 36 (1950)).Marsh and her co-workers discuss difficulties encountered with the method. These included poor proportionality between the amount of pyruvate formed and the amount of blood used, as well as poor recoveries of pyruvate added to samples. Thus, the exact interpretation of the results is somewhat in question, but by standardizing
