Abstract
Nicotinic acid when fed to rats as 0.8 per cent of their diet caused an 83 per cent increase in radioactivity of liver cholesterol-digitonin precipitate. In vitro studies using rat liver slices indicated that nicotinic acid increased the incorporation of radiocarbon into cholesterol by 46 per cent.Keywords
