Which of the following derivative of pyridine is mostly found in mammals? Correct Answer Nicotinic acid

Mammals synthesize nicotinic acid through oxidation. The coenzyme forms of nicotinic acid are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). These compounds assist dehydrogenase enzymes in the catabolism of fat, carbohydrates, and amino acids, and in the enzymes involved in synthesis of fats and steroids and other vital metabolites.
