Summary
1. Treatment of Hypercholesterolemic patients with niacin will cause a significant
decrease in oxidative stress and a decrease in the atherogenecity in blood samples of
the patients.
2. A possible correlation between oxidative stress in hypercholesterolemic patients taking
niacin to clinical hypercholesterolemia parameters is possible.
3. Using a novel biomarker will enable a precise detection of the change in the oxidative
stress in hypercholesterolemic patients.
