Abstract
We investigated the relative activity of N-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)nico tinic acid to nicotinic acid as a niacin nutrient in rats and in Lacto bacillus plantarum ATCC 8014, N-(beta-D-Glucopyranosyl)nicotinic acid is a detoxified product or storage form of nicotinic acid that is foun d in plants. The relative activity of N-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)nicotin ic acid to nicotinic acid in rats was 1/2.3, 1/2.2, 1/1.0, and 1/1.7 a s indices of the body weight gain, food intake, blood NAD content, and the increased urinary excretion of niacin and its metabolites, respec tively, N-(beta-D-Glucopyranosyl)nicotinic acid had no niacin activity in Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014.
