Application: | Nicotinic acid has been used: • as a component of the MS vitamins stock solution • for the detection of siderophores in Escherichia coli bacterial culture • as a component of the holidic medium for adult Drosophila . |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Niacin is involved in the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which is used in the adenine triphosphate (ATP) production in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. It also decreases hepatic production of very-low density lipoproteins (VLDL), and apolipoprotein B (apo-B). Niacin deficiency leads to pellagra. |
General description: | Nicotinic acid is also known as vitamin B3 or Niacin. It is a water soluble vitamin. Niacin can be either synthesized within the body or can be obtained from dietary sources. |
