All About Vitamins: Niacin Lowers Hypercholesterol and risk of CVD in Diabetic patients

By Kyle J. Norton.

Niacin, is also known as vitamin B3, nicotinic acid, an organic compound with the formula
C6H5NO2, found abundantly in chicken, beef, fish, cereal, peanuts and legumes. It is best known for its effects in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides and removing toxic from our body and promoting production of steroid hormones.

Niacin may have a potential in reduced risk of hypercholesterol and cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes, a Medical institute suggested.

According to the School of Medicine and Pharmacology, niacin exhibited HDL metabolism in reduced all forms of bad cholesterol and increased good cholesterol level in patients with type 2 diabetes.

In a total of 12 men with type 2 diabetes mellitus recruited for a randomized, crossover design trial, patients randomized to rosuvastatin or rosuvastatin plus ER niacin for 12 weeks and then crossed over to the alternate therapy after a 3-week washout period, metabolic assay showed that extended-release (ER) niacin treatment significantly decreased plasma triglyceride, plasma cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, articular in HDL cholesterol in compared to other groups.

Dr. the lead researcher said, " ER niacin increases HDL apoA-I concentration in statin-treated subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus by lowering apoA-I(in measurement of cardiovascular risk) fractional catabolic rate".

In the same same group of patients with type 2 diabestes, in compared the effective of rosuvastatin or rosuvastatin plus ER niacin, extended-release (ER) niacin on apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48) kinetics in statin-treated treatment also showed a reduction of level of apoB-48 concentration, but significant lower than group treated with conventional treatment.

The study also emphasized that the ER niacin exhibition of reduced cardiovascular risk showed independent to the levels of triglyceride, according to testing assay.

In fact, the efficacy of ER in reduced risk of CVD may be resulted of reduction of apoB-48 concentration through lowering fasting and postprandial apoB-48 secretion rate.

Taking together, niacin injection may have a profound effect in treating diabetic patients in ameliorated risk of CVD through expression of lower level of total blood cholesterol.
