Original Abstract of the Article :
The transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor GPR109A has been previously shown to function as a receptor for niacin in mediating antilipolytic effects. Although administration of high doses of niacin has shown beneficial effects on lipid metabolism, however, it is often accompanied by disturbing sid...See full text at original site
