Summary
This study looks at whether niacin improves reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in healthy
volunteers. 3H-Cholesterol will be used to measure RCT by analyzing changes in the tracer
activity in total plasma, lipoproteins, red blood cells (RBCs) and stool. The hypothesis is
that niacin augments reverse cholesterol transport.
