[Effect of nicotinamide on lipid peroxidation]. / Vliianie nikotinamida na protsessy perekisnogo okisleniia lipidov.

Nicotinamide (10-100 mM) caused a decrease in total "fast" flash of chemoluminescence, in rates of NADPH- and ascorbate dependent lipid peroxidation in microsomal fraction of rat liver tissue. Content of cytochrome P-450 (carbonyl complex) as well as rates of amidopyrine N-demethylation and aniline p-hydroxylation were also decreased in microsomal fraction. At the same time, inhibition of chemoluminescence was found after addition of 50, 100 mM nicotinamide to blood plasma or to solution of oxidized oleic acid. With an increase in nicotinamide concentration its inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation was more distinct.
