Abstract

Treatment with nicotinic acid produced an enhancement of ketone bodies production from endogenous, substrates, either oleate or octanotate. The enhancement was accounted for by an increase of acetoacetate synthesis. These results suggest that the increase of acetoacetate production may be due to the enhancement of extramitochondrial ketogenesis as a consequence of the inhibition of lipogenesis.
