Component

Sensory nerve action potentials

Independently recorded entity or measured process. Linked claims specify compartment, assay and experimental scope.

2 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does

Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.

  1. After long-term 1250–1750 mg/day exposure, the reported patient recovered sensory function and nerve potentials following reduction to 500 mg/day.

    Pyridoxine → Sensory neuropathy source_derived_draftungraded
    Experimental context and source evidence
    experimental_model
    Single patient with homocystinuria and long-term high-dose pyridoxine exposure.
    exposure
    1250–1750 mg/day for 20 years; subsequently reduced to 500 mg/day. Case history, not evidence that the reduced dose is safe generally.
    limitations
    Single homocystinuria case; does not establish universal reversibility or safety of 500 mg/day. The article background statement about 50 mg is not treated as an experimentally determined threshold.

  2. Thermal thresholds changed before or more strongly than vibration thresholds in the lower-dose group; sensory nerve-potential changes lagged thresholds in two of three subjects.
