<jats:sec><jats:title>Scope</jats:title><jats:p>Distinct markers for mild vitamin B3 deficiency are lacking. To identify these, the molecular responses of white adipose tissue (WAT) to vitamin B3 withdrawal are examined.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and results</jats:title><jats:p>A dietary intervention is performed in male C57BL/6JRccHsd mice, in which a diet without nicotinamide riboside (NR) is compared to a diet with NR at the recommended vitamin B3 level. Both diets contain low but adequate level of tryptophan. Metabolic flexibility and systemic glucose tolerance are analyzed and global transcriptomics, qRT‐PCR, and histology of epididymal WAT (eWAT) are performed. A decreased insulin sensitivity and a shift from carbohydrate to fatty acid oxidation in response to vitamin B3 withdrawal are observed. This is consistent with molecular changes in eWAT, including an activated MEK/ERK signaling, a lowering of glucose utilization markers, and an increase in makers of fatty acid catabolism, possibly related to the consistent lower expression of mitochondrial electron transport complexes. The synthesis pathway of tetrahydropteridine (BH4), an essential cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis, is transcriptionally activated. Genes marking these processes are technically validated.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>The downregulation of <jats:italic>Anp32a</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Tnk2</jats:italic> and the upregulation of <jats:italic>Mapk1</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Map2k1</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Qdpr</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Mthfs</jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Mthfsl</jats:italic> are proposed as a WAT transcriptional signature marker for mild vitamin B3 deficiency.</jats:p></jats:sec>
