Abstract: | The influence of nicotinamide and oxythiamine on the activity of NADPH-producing dehydrogenases of glucoso-6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, malate, isocitrate, as well as concentration and synthesis rate of fatty acids in fatty tissue were studied in experiments on mice with genetically conditioned non-insulin-dependent diabetes and hyperinsulinemia. It has been established that in these diseases the synthesis of fatty acids and their inclusion into lipids are activated without increasing the above enzymes activity. It is shown that nicotinamide and oxythiamine inhibit inclusion of C from glucose into free fatty acids, antivitamin intensifies lipolysis in the fatty tissue of the diseased animals. |
