Effect of nicotinic acid on the formation of catecholamine has been studied. Norepinephrine and dopamine concentrations in brain were 30 per cent higher and brain catecholamine formation was 50 per cent higher in the nicotinic acid-supplemented rats than the nicotinic acid-deficient rats. However, these catecholamine levels of the nicotinic acid-deficient rats were recovered by the administration of nicotinic acid. The concentration of brain tyrosine was unaltered after administration of nicotinic acid to the nicotinic acid-deficient rats. Therefore, the changes catecholamine formation by the nicotinic acid supplementation were not due to the difference of tyrosine concentration in the brain which is the precursor for catecholamine biosynthesis. As the difference of catecholamine concentration between the nicotinic acid deficient and the nicotinic acid supplemented group was smaller than that of catecholamine formation of these groups, the turnover of catecholamine was supposed to be decreased in nicotinic acid deficiency.

Ten-week old rats were fed an AIN-76 purified diet ad libitum and were given 3-acetylpyridine which is an antagonistic agent of nicotinic acid. The quantity and composition of myelin in the brain were analyzed after administration of 3-acetylpyridine for 40 days. Body weight, myelin yield, cerebroside level and specific activity of 2', 3'-cyclic nucleotide-3'-phosphohydrolase in the brain decreased by administration of 3-acetylpyridine. Despite the decreased myelin yield, the proportion of protein and total lipid and the percentage composition of lipid in myelin did not change by administration of 3-acetylpyridine. Therefore, we have concluded that 3-acetylpyridine plays a significant role in the loss of myelin.

Tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the brain homogenate increased and nicotinic acid content in the brain and liver decreased in rats fed a tryptophan-imbalanced diet. In order to clarify the function of nicotinic acid, we studied the causes of increase in tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the tryptophan-imbalanced rats.1) Tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the brain and nicotinic acid content in the liver and brain were not changed by the administration of nicotinic acid to rats fed on a 7% casein diet. However, tyrosine hydroxylase activity increased and nicotinic acid content decreased in rats fed on a 7% casein diet supplemented with methionine (0.3g/100g diet) and threonine (0.36g/100g diet), but normal activity and content were recovered by the administration of nicotinic acid or tryptophan.2) In tryptophan-deficient rats, tyrosine hydroxylase activity and nicotinic acid content were not changed by the administration of nicotinic acid.3) In protein-deficient rats, tyrosine hydroxylase activity and nicotinic acid content were not changed by the administration of nicotinic acid.4) Tyrosine hydroxylase activity was increased and nicotinic acid content was decreased by the administration of tryptophan to tryptophan or protein-deficient rats.5) A positive correlation was observed between the tryptophan content in the diet and the total nicotinic acid content in the brain. A negative correlation was noted between the total nicotinic acid content in the brain and the level of tyrosine hydroxylase activity. It was therefore, considered that the level of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the brain was directly influenced by the nicotinic acid content in it, and that the level of nicotinic acid was maintained by tryptophan.

Znの不足がラード食(LD)と魚油食(FD)の嗜好性に及ぼす影響を調べた。4週齢のオスFischer344系ラットを1群16匹ずつの4群に分け,それぞれ-ZnLD,-ZnFD,+ZnLD,+ZnFDの飼料で3週間飼育後,各群6匹ずつを解剖した。残りの-Zn群のラットには-ZnLDと-ZnFDを,+Zn群のラットには+ZnLDと+ZnFDの飼料を同時に与えて3週間選択摂取させた後解剖した。-Zn群は+Zn群に比べて血漿Zn濃度,飼料摂取量,体重は有意に低く,血漿・肝臓脂質濃度も-Zn群が有意に低かった。+Zn群のラットは両群ともn-6/n-3がほぼ3となるようにLDとFDを選択摂取したが,-Zn群のn-6/n-3はLD群で1.9,FD群で6.6となった。したがって,+Zn群は一定のn-6/n-3で必須脂肪酸を摂取する能力を有しているが,Znが不足するとこの能力が消失すると推察された。
