RESEARCH ARTICLE Niacin Reverses Migratory Macrophage Foam Cell Arrest Mediated by oxLDL In

Introduction: Niacin reduces vascular oxidative stress and down regulates inducible nitric oxide synthase, an enzyme mediating proatherosclerotic effects in part by increasing oxidative stress. Here, we evaluate whether Niacin reverses the redox sensitive migratory arrest of macrophages in response to oxidised(ox) LDL uptake
