[Effect of nicotinic acid, nicotinamide and its combination with ziksorin and phenobarbital on the UDP glucuronyl transferase activity of the hepatic endoplasmic reticulum in the rat]
Abstract
Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide (100 mg/kg) increase the activity of the rat liver microsomal uridine diphosphate-glucuronyltransferase by 55 and 73.8%. Administration of nicotinamide in combination with ziksorin or phenobarbital enhanced the enzyme-inducing effects of the latter.
