Biochem/physiol Actions

Niacin is involved in the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺), which is used in the adenine triphosphate (ATP) production in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. It also decreases hepatic production of very-low density lipoproteins (VLDL), and apolipoprotein B (apo-B). Niacin deficiency leads to pellagra.
