Resistance exercise improves learning and memory and modulates hippocampal metabolomic profile in aged rats
The Treatment of Alcoholism with Vitamin B 3
TLDR
Research showing a connection between AUD and pellagra; hypothetical research that has linked a de"ciency of the vitamin to compulsive drinking behaviour; and clinical research pertaining to vitamin B3 and AUD are summarized.
Maternal nicotinamide supplementation causes global DNA hypomethylation, uracil hypo-incorporation and gene expression changes in fetal rats
TLDR
It is concluded that maternal nicotinamide supplementation can induce changes in fetal epigenetic modification and DNA base composition that may play a role in the development of epigenetic-related diseases in the offspring.

Nicotinic acid effectiveness in the treatment of benzodiazepine withdrawal
The search for new anticonvulsant agents based on nicotinamide
TLDR
Evidence is obtained that the spectrum of the activity of nicotinamide and its analogs differ from that of the classic anticonvulsants and antiepileptic drugs of the diphenin and phenobarbital series, resembling, to a greater degree, benzodiazepine tranquilizers with the predominant influence on the GABA-ergic system.

Orthomolecular Psychiatry
TLDR
Biochemical and genetic arguments support the idea that orthomolecular therapy, the provision for the individual person of the optimum concentrations of important normal constituents of the brain, may be the preferred treatment for many mentally ill patients.
Hepatic toxicity from large doses of vitamin B3 (nicotinamide).
TLDR
The following case demonstrates that nicotinamide may cause major hepatic injury and is associated with abnormalities of liver function when used in large doses in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
Pellagra in 2 homeless men.
TLDR
The combination of homelessness, alcohol abuse, and failure to eat regularly--particularly, failure to make use of shelter-based meal programs--may identify people at special risk in contemporary settings.
A case of pellagra and a South Carolina history of the disorder.
TLDR
This case raises many questions about pellagra in the 21st century and suggests that perhaps the quote, "if you keep peLLagra in mind, you will recognize it when you see it" is not sufficient and pellagara is frequently invisible.
Nicotinamide, inosine and hypoxanthine, putative endogenous ligands of the benzodiazepine receptor, opposite to diazepam are much more effective against kynurenine-induced seizures than against pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures
