Niacin Reduces Atherosclerosis Development in APOE*3Leiden.CETP Mice Mainly by Reducing NonHDL-Cholesterol.

PLoS ONE, 2013
ObjectiveNiacin potently lowers triglycerides, mildly decreases LDL-cholesterol, and largely increases HDL-cholesterol. Despite evidence for an atheroprotective effect of niacin from previous small clinical studies, the large outcome trials, AIM-HIGH and

Impact of Street Food Availability on Nutritional Intake and Diet‐Related Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The community food environment influences access to food, which depends on the type of food venues available. However, studies predominantly focus on the Global North, often neglecting culturally relevant food sources in the Global South, like street food (SF) stalls. SF are a popular, affordable, and convenient source of energy and nutrients,

Niacin-induced lysosomal free cholesterol efflux via LXRα-mediated signaling pathways in macrophages retards the progression of atherosclerosis

Heliyon
Background: Lysosomal free cholesterol efflux plays a crucial role in foam cell formation and atherogenesis. In addition to its lipid-modifying functions, whether the direct effect of niacin on lysosomal cholesterol efflux contributes to its anti ...

Multimodal floral cues resembling both generalized food sources and oviposition sites in Isotrema manshuriense (Aristolochiaceae) pollinated by flies

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The protogynous flowers of Isotrema manshuriense exhibit multimodal cues, resembling both generalized food sources and fly oviposition sites, with these cues varying across sexual phases. Abstract The genus Aristolochia is renowned for its kettle‐like trap flowers that temporarily retain visiting insects, primarily using trapping trichomes.
