All About Vitamins: Niacin as Antioxidant

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.

Antioxidant is a chemical compound with function in inhibited oxidation caused by imbalance of oxygen molecules.

Niacin may have a profound effect in reduced risk of free radical expression by exhibiting antioxidant activity, a renowned study suggested.

In the study of animals, randomly assigned to one of 4 groups (n = 6): Group I, control, received distilled water by gavage; Group II, received MeHg (100 µg/kg/d) by gavage; Group III, received NA (50 mg/kg/d) in drinking water; Group IV, received MeHg (100 µg/kg/d) by gavage + NA (50 mg/kg/d) in drinking water, niacin fed mice exerted a significant effect in reduced adverse effects of toxicity produced by MeHg, through its the intrinsic antioxidant property.

The interaction of niacin also ameliorated oxidative stress through improved the presence of antioxidants of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) and reduced levels of free radicals of glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide.

Promisingly, in the study of 21 patients older than 18 years, with HDL-C ≤40 mg dl-1 (men) or ≤50 mg dl-1 (women), randomly assigned to receive daily ERN (n = 10) or placebo (n = 11) for two sequential 12-week periods, with 4 weeks of wash-out before cross-over, niacin treatment showed positive outcomes in activated paraoxonase-1 (PON1) function in anti-atherosclerotic component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). and promoted the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory functions of HDL.

Although, niacin expressed the impressive effect in improved antioxidant status in treated patients, the amounts do not match up to rise in HDL-C achieved in induced aApoA-I antibodies activity, Dr. Batuca JR, the lead author said, " (due to these result) niacin and other lipid lowering agents fail to reduce cardiovascular risk".

Taking together, there is not doubt that niacin or its derivative Extended-release niacin (ERN) may have a potential effect in reduced risk of lipid peroxidation through increasing high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and be considered as therapeutic treatment of abnormal cholesterol expression.
