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.

The pharmacokinetics of nicotinic acid (NiAc) and nicotinuric acid (NiUAc), the major metabolite of NiAc, and the dose dependency of these pharmacokinetics were determined in rats. Intravenous injections of 2, 5, 15, and 45 mg/kg of NiAc and 5 and

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

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

The concentrations of nicotinic acid (NiAc) and nicotinuric acid (NiUAc), a major metabolite of NiAc, were simultaneously determined in urine using solid-phase extraction (cation-exchange extraction) and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. The intra- and inter-day precision studies showed
