ABSTRACT
In order to assess the nutritional status of riboflavin and pyridoxine during pregnancy, 24 Mexican women were studied during the second trimester and 17 during the third trimester of gestation. The biochemical evaluation of the riboflavin and pyridoxine status was performed by measuring the activation coefficients (AC) of the erythrocyte glutathione reductase (eGR) and aspartate aminotranferase (eAAT), respectively. Dietary protein, riboflavin, thiamin, and calcium intake decreased significantly in the last trimester of gestation. The women presented biochemical deficiency of pyridoxine in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, but they developed biochemical deficiency of riboflavin and pyridoxine deficiency. None showed clincial signg of vitamin deficiency. No significant correlation was found between individual serum concentrations of estradiol or progesterone and eGR-AC or eAAT-AC in both trimesters of pregnancy. Six newborns studied showed normal eGR-AC and eAAT-AC
