| 1 | A pilot study of the effects of niacin administration on free fatty acid and growth hormone concentrations in children with obesity. | Niacin | growth hormone 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | In adults, lipolytic inhibition with niacin lowers FFA and increases GH, but there are no prior studies in children with obesity. | Niacin | growth hormone 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine the dose and frequency of niacin administration required to lower FFA and stimulate GH in children with obesity. | Niacin | growth hormone 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | Niacin 500 mg q1h 4 doses suppressed FFA < 0.2 mEq L-1 and significantly increased GH (p = .04). | Niacin | growth hormone 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | CONCLUSIONS: Niacin 500 mg q1h significantly lowered serum FFA and increased GH. | Niacin | growth hormone 1 | Homo sapiens |
