Abstract
FOLLOWING the injection of nicotinamide, large increases in the diphosphopyridine nucleotide content of mouse tissues, particularly liver, have been reported by Kaplan and co-workers1. Although it is thought that diphosphopyridine nucleotide is synthesized from adenine mononucleotide, the increase in the former is accompanied by an increase in the total acid-soluble adenine content of the liver.
