Effects of Nicotinic Acid on Concentrations of Serum Apolipoproteins B, C‐I, C‐II, C‐III and E in Hyperlipidemic Patients

Abstract: Abstract. Twenty‐four patients with Type IIa, IIb, III and IV hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) were treated with 4 g of nicotinic acid daily with the purpose to study its effect on serum apolipoprotein B, C‐I, C‐II, C‐III and E concentrations. Triglyceride and total cholesterol concentrations of whole serum and of different serum lipoprotein fractions were also determined. Analyses were performed prior to and after a drug treatment period of 6 weeks, during which all the patients were weight stable. Treatment cause… Show more

“…In addition, niacin has been shown to reduce VLDL-apoC-III concentrations in subjects with hyperlipidaemia [119]. Niacin activates the Gprotein-coupled nicotinic acid receptor [120] and inhibits diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, the key enzyme in triacylglycerols synthesis [121] and hormone-sensitive triacylglycerol lipase, a lipolytic enzyme [122].…”

“…Nicotinic acid (or niacin) and cholesterol absorption inhibitor (ezetimibe) have also been shown to reduce VLDL‐apoC‐III concentrations in hyperlipidaemic subjects (87,88). Niacin activates the G protein‐coupled nicotinic acid receptor, and inhibits diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, the key enzyme in triglycerides synthesis and hormone sensitive triglyceride lipase, a lipolytic enzyme (89,90).…”

“…Total plasma levels of apoC-I are increased in patients with hypertriglyceridemia [13, 14] and decreased in patients with Tangier's disease [15]. During postprandial elevation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), apoC-I is transferred from HDL to VLDL (Svedberg flotation (Sf) 20–400) [16] without affecting total plasma levels of apoC-I [17].…”
