Niacin supplementation increases the number of oxidative type I fibers in skeletal muscle of growing pigs [PDF]
Background: A recent study showed that niacin supplementation counteracts the obesity-induced muscle fiber switching from oxidative type I to glycolytic type II and increases the number of type I fibers in skeletal muscle of obese Zucker rats.

Niacin and Progression of CKD [PDF]
Niacin is the oldest drug available for the treatment of dyslipidemia. It has been studied extensively and tested in clinical trials of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease prevention and regression in the general population, but not specifically in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), who are at extremely high residual risk despite current ...

Whole blood NAD and NADP concentrations are not depressed in subjects with clinical pellagra [PDF]
Population surveys for niacin deficiency are normally based on clinical signs or on biochemical measurements of urinary niacin metabolites. Status may also be determined by measurement of whole blood NAD and NADP concentrations. To compare these methods,

Niacin is an effective agent for raising HDL, but its cellular target sites are largely unknown. We examined effects of niacin on the surface expression of ATP synthase β chain, a newly described HDL/apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) receptor for HDL ...
