Effect of Niacin on Inflammation and Angiogenesis in a Murine Model of Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract Butyrate and niacin are produced by gut microbiota, however butyrate has received most attention for its effects on colonic health. The present study aimed at exploring the effect of niacin on experimental colitis as well as throwing some light on the ability of niacin to modulate angiogene...
