The Effect of Niacinamide Supplementation on Phosphate Concentrations in Dutch Dialysis Patients: a randomised, crossover trial
Hyperphosphatemia is a common complication in patients with kidney failure, despite the use of phosphate binders (PBs). Vitamin B3, either in the form of niacin or niacinamide (NAM), shows potential as “add-on” treatment to reduce serum phosphate concentrations in this population. NAM seems to lack many of the side-effects that are observed with niacin. The aim of this study was to investigate whether NAM is an effective and acceptable treatment in reducing serum phosphate concentrations in pa tients with kidney failure.

Metagenomic sequencing identified microbial species in the rumen and cecum microbiome responsible for niacin treatment and related to intramuscular fat content in finishing cattle
ConclusionThe results suggested that dietary manipulation, such as the supplementation of niacin, should be regarded as the effective and convenient way to improve IMF of castrated finishing steers by regulating rumen microbiome. (Source: Frontiers in Microbiology)

High Niacin Levels May Raise Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Previous research has linked niacin, a type of B vitamin that is found in fortified flour and cereal, to lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. But taking niacin supplements has not led to lower risk of cardiovascular disease among people who also take statins —a discrepancy that researchers termed the niacin paradox.

Identification and validation of m6A-associated ferroptosis genes in renal clear cell carcinoma
We examined patients' immune profiles by risk score. Our prognostic genes predicted ccRCC treatment drugs. We found 37 DEMFRGs by comparing 1913 differentially expressed ccRCC genes to 202 m6A RNA methylation FRGs. Functional enrichment analysis showed that hypoxia-induced cell death and metabolism pathways were the most differentially expressed methylation functional regulating genes. Five prognostic genes were found by machine learning: TRIB3, CHAC1, NNMT, EGFR, and SLC1A4. An advanced renal cell carcinoma nomogram with age and risk score accurately predicted the outcome. These five prognostic genes were linked to variou...
