Niacin (Vitamin B3; Nicotinic acid) hydrochloride is an orally active B3 vitamin that is an essential nutrient for humans. Niacin hydrochloride plays a key role in energy metabolism, cell signaling cascades regulating gene expression and apoptosis. Niacin hydrochloride is also used in the study of cardiovascular diseases[1][2]. | [in vivo]
Niacin hydrochloride (subcutaneous injection, 3-300 mg/kg, once) can induce vasodilation in a dose-dependent manner within minutes in male C57BL/6 mice[3].
| Animal Model: | Male C57BL/6 mice[3] | | Dosage: | 3-300 mg/kg | | Administration: | Subcutaneous injection; once | | Result: | Induced vasodilation in a dose-dependent manner. |
