Thirty-six crossbred barrows with an average initial age of 42 d and BW of 13.8 kg were placed in individual metabolism crates in a 35-d experiment to evaluate the supplementation of a semipurified diet with graded levels of crystalline niacin. Response criteria were energy and N balance, growth
OBJECTIVE
Malnourished patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) can develop pellagra-like manifestations such as dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia; therefore, we tested the hypothesis that patients with AIDS and diarrhea would have niacin depletion. This study compared 24-h urine
OBJECTIVE
To test the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of extended-release niacin monotherapy on dyslipidemia in persons with chronic tetraplegia.
METHODS
Placebo-controlled, blinded, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
METHODS
Three spinal cord injury research/rehabilitation
Pellagra is a photosensitivity syndrome characterized by three "D's": diarrhea, dermatitis, and dementia as a result of niacin deficiency. However, the molecular mechanisms of photosensitivity dermatitis, the hallmark abnormality of this syndrome, remain unclear. We prepared niacin deficient mice in
Pellagra is associated with low levels of vitamin B3 (niacin) and/or tryptophan and often involves other other B vitamins. Since the time Gasper Casal first described the disease in 1972, it was observed that the patients with pellagra were all poor, subsisted mainly on maize, and rarely ate fresh
OBJECTIVE
HIV infection induces a state of pellagra in cell culture models. This study compared the nutritional status and the 24-hour urine excretion of N-methylnicotinamide between HIV-positive children and HIV-negative children who were or were not born of mothers with HIV-1
The effect of dietary-induced niacin deficiency on intestinal absorption of fat and nitrogen was studied in 18 rats through the metabolic balance technique. When compared with de control group (n = 9) the niacin deficient rats (n = 9) showed higher fecal fat and nitrogen output. The former was
Adult cotton top marmosets made niacin deficient by long-term dietary deprivation, developed a syndrome characterized by anorexia, weight loss, weakness, diarrhea, dermatitis, enterocolitis and stomatitis. The stomatitis was highlighted by a necrotizing gingivitis and periodontitis and by an
BACKGROUND
The Heart Protection Study 2-Treatment of HDL to Reduce the Incidence of Vascular Events (HPS2-THRIVE) showed that adding extended-release niacin-laropiprant (ERN-LRPT) to statin provided no incremental cardiovascular benefit vs placebo (PBO). ERN-LRPT was also associated with an excess
We report a 47-year-old alcoholic man with alcoholic pellagra encephalopathy (APE) showing myoclonus and ataxia as chief complaints. He had been a heavy drinker for 30 years. He had noticed appetite loss and subsequently showed a subacutely progressive gait disturbance. He had no history of
BACKGROUND
Celiac disease (CD) is a complex autoimmune disorder that can lead to an inflammatory small intestinal villous atrophy and malabsorption. Hartnup disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by increased urinary excretion of neutral amino acids. Co-occurrence of Hartnup disease and
In September 1983, the Vermont Department of Health identified seven employees who developed facial and skin flushing and erythema within minutes of eating lunch in a hospital cafeteria. None had vomiting or diarrhea. Because of the unusual nature of the symptoms, a case-control study was
Hyperphosphatemia is an important modifiable risk factor in the dialysis population because it is linked to increased mortality. Existing phosphate-reducing agents either increase the risk of vascular calcification or are costly with high pill burden. Niacin shows promise as a cheap drug with low
BACKGROUND
Prophylactic zinc supplementation has been shown to reduce diarrhea and respiratory illness in children in many developing countries, but its efficacy in children in Africa is uncertain.
OBJECTIVE
To determine if zinc, or zinc plus multiple micronutrients, reduces diarrhea and respiratory
6-Aminonicotinamide (6-AN), an antagonist of niacin and a potent CNS glio-toxin, selectively caused degeneration of glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) of rodents. Suckling mice treated with 6-AN developed diarrhea clinically and displayed vacuolated degenerating glial cells in the
