Effect of Increased Diphosphopyridine Nucleotide Levels on Rate of Ethanol Metabolism in the Mouse

Abstract

Mice, in which a high level of DPN was induced by injection of nicotin-amide, metabolized ethanol no more rapidly than untreated controls. This would indicate that in animals with adequate niacin in the diet availability of DPN does not limit the disappearance rate of alcohol from the body.
