Nevertheless, its administration in raw form is contraindicated due to potential adverse effects including hepatotoxicity and cutaneous flushing. Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) plays a crucial role in the signaling cascade of niacin-induced flushing. To address the potential adverse reactions linked to niacin therapy, we developed a niacin-loaded lyotropic liquid crystal nanoparticle (NLCS) crafted explicitly for the oral administrat… Show more
