[Induction of tyrosine aminotransferase (EC 2.5.1.5) by nicotinamide in rat liver (author's transl)]
Abstract
In intact rats nicotinamide induces an increase of tyrosine aminotransferase depending on the dose of nicotinamide. In adrenalectomized rats an increase of tyrosine aminotransferase activity is only found up to a dose of 250 mg/kg nicotinamide. The combination of nicotinamide with L-methionine and/or cortisone acetate does not cause a significant increase of the enzyme activity, which, however, can be seen in the presence of L-tyrosine.
