Niacin for LDL Cholesterol Levels
Clinical Study Title:
Niacin treatment of the atherogenic lipid profile and Lp(a) in diabetes.
| Plain
English Summary: |
This
study examined the effect of niacin on treating abnormal
particle size for LDL cholesterol as well as the HDL2
percentage and lipidprotein(a) as well as looking
at the effect on glycated haemoglobin. Various labs
were run concerning the above items were run before
administration of niacin and after treatment. The
results supported the use of niacin for patients with
diabetes for alleviating dyslipidemias, as well as
using it in conjunction with an insulin treatment
or a hypoglycemic agent. The niacin has a very positive
and far reaching effect for all people, but especially
for diabetics. |
