Development of hypoglycemia, a slight decrease in concentration of glucagon in blood as well as increase in activity of malate-and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases in liver cytosol were detected in rats injected subcutaneously with nicotinamide at a dose of 31.25 mg/kg 6 hrs before decapitation. Increase of the single dose up to 125 mg/kg caused hypoglycemia, distinct increase in concentration of insulin and glucagon in blood plasma simultaneously with a pronounced inhibition of the enzymatic activity in liver tissue. Effect of nicotinamide on carbohydrate metabolism appears to have a dissimilar character depending on the drug dose: its small doses accelerated utilization and oxidation of glucose but did not affect the secretion of insulin and glucagon.
