Is vitamin that is converted to the co-enzyme PLP which is active in amino acid metabolism?
B vitamins and especially vitamin B6 are most commonly associated with enhancing metabolism. There are also many others that can aid in increasing metabolism such as vitamin C, and Green Tea. These are just a few that are commonly referred to when speaking of metabolism. Always remain skeptical of claims made about increasing metabolism. Some substances have limited evidence to suggest they actually increase metabolism. Vitamin C has been shown to increase fat-burning, but only amongst overweight individuals who were Vitamin C deficient. Use Google Scholar to check and see just whether a supplement has any evidence for increasing metabolism in normal people- and just how much.

Why is pyridoxine used in the treatment of tuberculosis?
Isoniazid is a first line anti-tubercular drug which is used in treatment of tuberculosis.Pyridoxine is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B6. Following absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, it is converted in the liver to a coenzyme, pyridoxal phosphate, that is involved in many metabolic processes. Isoniazid interferes competitively with pyridoxine metabolism by inhibiting the formation of the active form of the vitamin, and hence often results in peripheral neuropathy.Hence, to prevent peripheral neuropathy, pyridoxine 10mg/day is given prophylactically to patients along with anti-tubercular treatment.Patients with evidence of vitamin B6 deficiency may require doses upto 50mg/day.

How is vitamin D utilized?
NOVA NET ANSWER-------- calcium and phosphorus Vitamin D is absorbed in the gut, then travels to the skin, where it is converted by UV rays (from the sun) to Vitamin D3. From here, it is converted in the kidneys to calcitriol (or 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol), which is the biologically active form of the Vitamin. From here, it goes back to the intestine and assists in absorption of Calcium from the diet.
What hormone does the skin produce?
The answer is vitamin D. In presence of ultraviolet rays cholesterol is converted to vitamin D in the skin. One hydrogen atom is attached to it in liver and second in kidney to form active form of vitamin D.
