Abstract
⺠Nicotinic acid is a constituent of the coenzymes NAD and NADP. ⺠Nicotinic acid is widely used at high doses as a lipid-lowering drug. ⺠We examined nicotinate transport to the retina across the inner BRB. ⺠Nicotinate transport to the retina is mediated by MCTs at the inner BRB. ⺠Information will assist in the design of a suitable nicotinate dosage regimen.
