Acipimox, also known as olbemox, is a nicotinic acid analog. It functions as an anti-lipolytic drug and vasodilator. Acipimox may be used in various metabolic studies involving insulin and ghrelin. It lowers total cholesterol and total triglycerides, which helps in the treatment of hyperlipidemia.
Niacin-derived, vasodilator studied for its lipid-lowering effect.

Suppression of lipolysis by acipimox is known to improve insulin-stimulated glucose disposal, and this is an important phenomenon. The mechanism has been assumed to be an enhancement of glucose storage as glycogen, but no direct measurement has tested this concept

The study was designed to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters and relative bioavailability of a newly generic acipimox 250-mg tablets (test formulation) with a branded 250-mg tablets (reference formulation). A single-dose, randomized-sequence, 2-way crossover study was conducted in 20 healthy Chinese

We tested the hypothesis that a persistent reduction in free fatty acid (FFA) levels improves cardiac function and systemic insulin sensitivity via a reduction in the myocardial and skeletal muscle adiposities and a modulation in adipokine release. Study subjects (body
