Anti-inflammatory effects of nicotinic acid in human monocytes are mediated by GPR109A dependent mechanisms.
OBJECTIVE: Nicotinic acid (NA) treatment has been associated with benefits in atherosclerosis that are usually attributed to effects on plasma lipoproteins. The NA receptor GPR109A is expressed in monocytes and macrophages, suggesting a possible additional role for NA in modulating function of these...
