Weanling CD-1 mice were fed either a control diet or a diet deficient in niacin/nicotinamide for one month and then injected i.v. with 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, or 160 mg/kg streptozotocin. Mice on the deficient diet developed a higher incidence of diabetes and more severe hyperglycemia than those on the control diet.
