Biochem/physiol Actions

Nicotinuric acid (NUA) is a metabolite of niacin/vitamin B. Measurement of NUA levels in urine is used to indicate possible elevated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) catabolism. NUA may be used as a reference (standard curve) in the analysis of NAD and NUA catabolism. Nicotinic acid reduces triglycerides and increases high density lipoprotein(HDL) cholesterol.

Nicotinic acid is a safe, broad-spectrum lipid agent shown to prevent cardiovascular disease, yet its widespread use is limited by the prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) mediated niacin flush. Previous research suggests that nicotinic acid-induced PGD2 secretion is mediated by the skin

Both nicotinic acid and salicylic acid undergo glycine conjugation in human beings. Competitive inhibition may therefore be possible when these substances are used concomitantly in patients with hyperlipidemic disorders. The aim of this study was to determine, in six healthy
