After male rats of the Sprague Dawley strain, 5 weeks old, were fed a 20% casein diet for 12 days, 70 mg of streptozotocin/kg body weight (STZ group) or 70 mg of streptozotocin and 500 mg of nicotinamide/kg body weight (STZ-Nam group) was injected intraperitoneally into the rats. The rats were kept for 21 more days on the 20% casein diet and killed by decapitation. Urine was collected for the last 2 days. The level of blood glucose was 2-fold higher in the STZ group than in the STZ-Nam group. Urinary excretion of large amounts of glucose was observed only in the STZ group. Extremely reduction of urinary excretion of nicotinamide was observed in the STZ group, but, urinary excretion of N^1-methylnicotinamide (MNA) and N-^1-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (2-py) was about the same in the two groups and that of N^1-methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide (4-py) was higher in the STZ group than in the STZ-Nam group. The sum of urinary excretion of nicotinamide, MNA, 2-py, and 4-py was higher in the STZ group than in the STZ-Nam group. The levels of NAD in liver, pancreas, and blood in the STZ group tended to be higher, or rather not to decrease compared to the STZ-Nam group. For enzyme activities concerned with the tryptophan-NAD metabolism, a marked increase was observed in the activities of aminocarboxymuconate-semialdehyde decarboxylase, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid oxygenase, and nicotinamide methyltransferase, on the other hand, the activity of NAD^+ synthetase decreased in the STZ group compared to the STZ-Nam group. The activities of tryptophan oxygenase, kynureninase, NMN adenylyltransferase, and MNA oxidase were about the same in the two groups. These changes in the above enzyme activities mean that the conversion ratio from tryptophan to NAD is lower in the streptozotocin diabetic rats than normal rats, but the tryptophan metabolisms such as NAD and 4-py were higher in the STZ group than in the STZ-Nam group. This might be due to the higher food intake and the lower body weight gain in the STZ group than in the STZ-Nam group. Similar phenomena have reported in alloxan diabetic rats.
