Postprandial triglyceride responses to aerobic exercise and extended-release niacin1–3 Eric P Plaisance, Michael L Mestek, A Jack Mahurin, J Kyle Taylor, Jose Moncada-Jimenez, and Peter W Grandjean Although fasting blood lipid concentrations are most often used to evaluate CVD risk, the magnitude and duration of postprandial triglyceride elevation may provide additional information regarding the metabolic capacity to remove lipids from the blood. Wideman et al (3) examined the effects of a high-fat meal in sedentary, normolipidemic males with abdominal obesity. Despite normal fasting triglyceride concentrations, males with abdominal obesity had a higher magnitude of triglyerides and a higher total triglyceride response to a high-fat meal than did normal-weight controls. Aerobic exercise training in the presence or absence of weight loss has been shown to reduce both fasting and postprandial triglycerides (4). However, many of the health-related benefits attributed to aerobic exercise training are due to the metabolic effects of the most recent session of exercise performed. Single sessions of low-to-moderate–intensity aerobic exercise lasting for 30 –90 min reduce postprandial triglyceride concentrations by 15–50% (5). The pharmacologic effects of niacin (nicotinic acid) were first reported by Altschul et al in 1955 (6). Niacin is one of the most effective pharmacologic agents for lowering fasting triglycerides, and its use results in reductions of 20% to 50% (7–9). Although few studies have investigated the effects of niacin on postprandial triglycerides, King et al (10) found that immediaterelease niacin reduced the total triglyceride area under the curve (AUCT) after a high-fat meal by 41% in persons with low HDL cholesterol. The effects of aerobic exercise on postprandial triglycerides have been well established in healthy persons; however, there is little information regarding the influence of exercise on postprandial triglycerides in persons at risk of metabolic syndrome and CVD. Likewise, despite the efficacy of extended-release

INTRODUCTION 1

The incidence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and throughout the world. Obesity accounts for 쏜300 000 deaths annually in the United States, owing primarily to its association with a cluster of interrelated metabolic and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors commonly referred to as the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome is defined as a combination of 욷3 risk factors that include abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, low HDL cholesterol, hypertension, and hypertryglyceridemia (1, 2). Hypertriglyceridemia is one of the most common features of the metabolic syndrome and may be characterized by elevated triglyceride concentrations in the fasted and postprandial states.

ABSTRACT Background: Aerobic exercise and niacin are frequently used strategies for reducing serum triglycerides, and, yet, there is no information regarding the combined effects of these strategies on postprandial triglycerides. Objective: We compared the effects of aerobic exercise and 6 wk of extended-release niacin on postprandial triglycerides in men with the metabolic syndrome. Design: Fifteen participants underwent each of 4 conditions: control— high-fat meal only (100 g fat); exercise—aerobic exercise performed 1 h before a high-fat meal; niacin— high-fat meal consumed after 6 wk of niacin; and niacin ѿ exercise— high-fat meal consumed after 6 wk of niacin and 1 h after aerobic exercise. Temporal responses for triglyceride and insulin concentrations were measured and total (AUCT) and incremental (AUCI) areas under the curve were calculated. Differences were determined by using a 2-factor repeated-measures analysis of variance (P 쏝 0.05 for all). Results: Exercise lowered the triglyceride AUCI by 32% compared with control (724 앐 118 and 1058 앐 137, respectively). Niacin had no influence on the triglyceride AUCI and attenuated the triglyceride-lowering effect of exercise when combined. Niacin ѿ exercise had no effect on the triglyceride AUCI but decreased the insulin AUCI after niacin administration. Conclusions: Aerobic exercise lowers the postprandial triglyceride response to a high-fat meal. Niacin lowers fasting but not postprandial triglycerides and appears to influence the triglyceride-lowering effect of aerobic exercise when combined. However, exercise decreases postprandial insulin concentrations after niacin administration, which illustrates the potential metabolic benefits of exercise in persons taking niacin.

EXERCISE, NIACIN, AND POSTPRANDIAL LIPEMIA

niacin on fasting blood lipids, its influence on postprandial triglycerides has not been investigated to date. In addition, the combined effects of aerobic exercise and extended-release niacin on postprandial triglycerides have not been established. Because lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions are often prescribed together to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and CVD, our purpose was to evaluate the independent and combined effects of a single session of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and 6 wk of extended-release niacin on postprandial triglycerides in men with the metabolic syndrome.

oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production was averaged over 30-s intervals by using an automated system (Ultima Exercise Stress Testing System; Medical Graphics, Minneapolis, MN). Maximum oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) was defined as the highest observed oxygen uptake. An exercise test was considered maximal if 욷2 of the following criteria were met: 1) respiratory exchange ratio 욷 1.10, 2) heart rate within 10 beats/min of the age-predicted maximum, and 3) perceived exertion rating of 욷18.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS

Participants

Physiologic assessment During the return visit to the laboratory, anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, body mass index (in kg/m2), and waist and hip circumferences and other physiologic measurements were obtained. All waist and hip circumferences were measured to the nearest 0.5 cm. Waist was defined as the narrowest portion of the torso between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process, and measurements of hip circumference were obtained at the maximal thickness of the hips or buttocks. Body composition was determined by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Lunar Prodigy; General Electric, Fairfield, CT). Each participant then underwent a physical examination by a physician. After the physical examination, participants who were permitted to exercise performed a graded exercise test by using a standard Bruce protocol on a motor-driven treadmill to determine cardiorespiratory fitness. Twelve-lead electrocardiography was monitored throughout the treadmill test to evaluate the cardiovascular response to exercise. Breath-by-breath analysis of

Experimental procedures Participants who met all criteria and agreed to participate in the study were asked to record all food and drink consumed during the 3 d before blood sampling and to avoid any planned leisuretime physical activity or strenuous vocational activity on the 3 d before blood sampling. Participants then returned to the laboratory, where a baseline blood sample was obtained, and a high-fat meal was administered (control condition). Our initial goal was to characterize the postprandial triglyceride response to a highfat meal free of any outside influences from exercise or niacin. The following day, each participant returned to the laboratory, where another baseline blood sample was obtained to determine the influence of aerobic exercise alone on postprandial triglycerides (exercise condition) compared with control. After participants provided the baseline blood sample, they were asked to walk on a treadmill at 60 –70% of V˙O2max obtained from the treadmill test until a net energy expenditure of 500 kcal was achieved. Participants were then asked to consume a high-fat meal identical to that of the previous day in the control condition. Blood was sampled over the course of 8 h after the high-fat meal in each condition. Forty-eight hours after the high-fat meal of the exercise condition, the attending physician wrote a 6-wk prescription for extended-release niacin (Niaspan; Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL). After the niacin intervention, participants were asked

Adult male volunteers were recruited for this study by newspaper advertisements, posted flyers, presentations, departmental mailings, and word of mouth at Auburn University and in the Auburn-Opelika community. All volunteers were initially screened by telephone or personal interview and were considered for the study if they were between the ages of 30 and 65 y, previously sedentary [ie, no regular leisure-time physical activity or strenuous vocational activity, as defined by the US SurgeonGeneral (11), for the past 6 mo], or hypertriglyceridemic (ie, fasting triglycerides 욷 150 mg/dL) or if they presented with abdominal obesity (ie, waist girth 쏜 100 cm) or did not smoke. Persons taking medications known to influence lipid, lipoprotein, or glucose metabolism and those with a history of or active gout, peptic ulcer disease, or liver disease were excluded from the study. Volunteers who met the initial criteria by interview were invited to the laboratory for additional preliminary screening. A venous blood sample was obtained after a 10 –12-h fast and sent to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)– certified laboratory for measurement of baseline blood lipid and glucose concentrations. Persons who met the initial criteria were asked to return to the laboratory for further evaluation. All volunteers were fully informed about the nature of the study and provided written informed consent via an institutionally approved form. The investigation was approved by the Auburn University Institutional Review Board.

Volunteers who met all criteria for the study were provided a dietary and daily physical activity record to be completed from 3 d before and during all blood-sampling periods. The purpose of the dietary record was to determine the composition and quantity of foods each participant consumed during a typical week. Other than a request that participants maintain similar caloric and nutrient intakes during the blood sampling period, there was no attempt to modify dietary composition. Food logs were analyzed by using FOOD PROCESSOR for WINDOWS software (version 7.40; ESHA Research, Salem, OR). Total caloric intake and the percentages of protein, fat, and carbohydrate were estimated from the food log. Physical activity records were used to determine average caloric expenditure before and during the blood sampling period. Participants were asked to record the amount of time spent performing a wide range of activities. Metabolic equivalents were assigned to each type of activity, and caloric expenditure was estimated from the type and duration of activity. In combination with dietary records, physical activity records were used to account for background dietary or physical activity changes that could potentially influence changes in blood lipid or glucose metabolism.

to return to the laboratory, where they completed identical testing procedures conducted during the control and exercise conditions (Figure 1). High-fat meals The high-fat meal consisted of 앒270 mL whipped heavy cream and 65 g vanilla ice cream provided in the control, exercise, niacin, and niacin ѿ exercise conditions. The meal contained 앒1000 kcal and was composed of 앒100 g fat, 17 g carbohydrate, and 3 g protein. Each meal was identical in total caloric content and composition. Participants were required to consume the high-fat meal within 15 min.

Niacin administration Our university pharmacy filled the extended-release niacin prescription for 1 wk, and the participant was required to return to the pharmacy each week for refills. Refills of niacin were dispensed by the pharmacist only after participants completed a questionnaire at the Exercise Technology Laboratory regarding any adverse effects of niacin. Titrations of niacin occurred as follows: week 1, 500 mg/d; week 2, 1000 mg/d; and weeks 3– 6, 1500 mg/d (12). Niacin was taken once a day at bedtime with 300 mg aspirin to reduce the risk of flushing. Before the exercise condition and at weekly intervals thereafter, blood samples were obtained from each participant to monitor the potential side effects of niacin.

Experimental blood sampling Participants were asked to report to the laboratory for each condition at approximately the same time each morning, after a 10 –12-h fast. Before each meal, an intravenous catheter was inserted into an antecubital vein and capped by an intermittent injection port. Blood samples were obtained before the meal and at 2-h intervals for up to 8 h after the meal. Whole blood was centrifuged at 1500 ҂ g for 20 min to isolate serum. Aliquots of serum were stored at Ҁ70 °C before analysis. Participants were asked to remain in the laboratory during the blood sampling period.

Volunteers who met all criteria for the study underwent each of 4 conditions to determine the effects of niacin and exercise on postprandial triglycerides. Each condition required the participant to consume an FM with temporal blood sampling at 2-h intervals for 8 h. Control consisted of consuming an FM; exercise consisted of a single session of aerobic exercise performed 1 h before an identical FM. The niacin condition examined the effects of 6 wk of niacin on the postprandial response to an identical FM. Niacin ѿ exercise consisted of a session of aerobic exercise identical to that performed previously, combined with 6 wk of niacin to examine the combined effects of these interventions on postprandial triglycerides. Fasting blood samples were obtained at 24 and 48 h after the exercise and niacin ѿ exercise conditions.

All participants completed an aerobic exercise session on 2 occasions: 1) the day after the control condition and just before beginning the 6-wk niacin condition and 2) at 6 wk during the niacin condition. Treadmill walking was completed 1 h before ingestion of a high-fat meal in the exercise and niacin ѿ exercise conditions (Figure 1). A standard kcal equivalent of 5 kcal/L of oxygen and V˙O2max (L/min) obtained from the graded exercise test were used to estimate the intensity and duration of exercise needed to elicit a net energy expenditure of 500 kcal before the experimental exercise session. The average exercise duration required to expend 500 kcal at the required intensity was 51 min (range: 36 –75 min).

EXERCISE, NIACIN, AND POSTPRANDIAL LIPEMIA

Biochemical analysis Clinical chemistries were conducted by a CDC-certified laboratory. Hemoglobin and hematocrit concentrations were used, according to the procedures of Dill and Costill (13), to estimate possible shifts in plasma volume associated with each condition. Serum triglyceride and glucose concentrations were analyzed by using commercially available colorimetric enzymatic kits (Raichem, Columbia, MD). Insulin concentrations were measured by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; Millipore, Billerica, MA). The intraassay and interassay CVs for triglycerides were 1.1% and 2.7%, respectively. The intraassay and interassay CVs for glucose were 0.5% and 1.3%, respectively. Insulin concentrations were measured for all time-points collected on a participant during a single analysis. The intraassay CV for insulin was 3.3%.

screening by telephone or personal interview. Ten volunteers did not meet body-composition or blood lipid criteria for entry into the study. A total of 33 volunteers met all inclusion criteria. Eighteen volunteers met entry criteria for the study but decided not to participate because of personal time constraints. A total of 15 participants started and completed all phases of the study (Figure 2). All participants in the study met 욷3 of the 5 criteria for the metabolic syndrome as defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III; 2). The cohort could be classified as being at high risk of CVD on the basis of average body mass index (34.0 앐 0.8) and waist circumference (107.9 앐 2.1 cm) (16). Percentage body fat was above the 90th percentile for men 40 – 60 y of age. The baseline physiologic characteristics of the participants are shown in Table 1. Postprandial triglyceride response

where PPL ҃ postprandial lipemia (at mg 䡠 dL 䡠 8 h ), nB represents the baseline plasma triglyceride value, and n2–n8 represents the triglyceride values from 2 to 8 h after the high-fat meals. The same procedure was used to quantify postprandial insulin AUC in ␮U 䡠 mLҀ1 䡠 8 hҀ1. A within-subjects design was used with participants serving as their own controls. A control group and a placebo control were considered and ruled out because the efficacy of niacin therapy is not in question, and ethical issues about benefit for participants were a major concern for the investigators and our medical consultants. Tests for normality confirmed that all dependent variables of interest were normally distributed. Repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the postprandial triglyceride and insulin AUC and peak responses. A 2-factor repeated-measures ANOVA was used to compare the temporal responses over the 8-h postprandial period for each condition. Tukey-Kramer post hoc testing was used to explore significant differences determined by ANOVA. Relations between physiologic characteristics and changes in the dependent variables were determined by using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. Power analyses suggested that 10 participants would be required, as determined by using the variance in postprandial triglyceride AUCI, to exercise at an effect size of 0.8 and an alpha level of 0.05 (15). Data were analyzed with SAS for WINDOWS software (version 9.1; SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Significance was accepted at the P 쏝 0.05 level.

Plasma volume was not changed in the hours after a meal for any of the conditions. Therefore, blood triglyceride, insulin, and glucose concentrations and AUC calculations were made by using unadjusted plasma volume concentrations. As compared with control, the triglyceride AUCT was 13% lower in the exercise condition and 23% lower in the niacin condition (P 쏝 0.001 for both; Figure 3A). Exercise lowered the triglyceride AUCI by 32% from control (Figure 3B); however, the triglyceride AUCI for the niacin and niacin ѿ exercise conditions did not differ significantly from control. Peak triglycerides in the exercise (404 앐 35 mg/dL) and niacin (400 앐 35 mg/dL) conditions were similarly lower than the control condition (490 앐 35 mg/dL). The peak triglyceride concentrations in the niacin ѿ exercise condition (360 앐 34 mg/dL) were not significantly lower than those in the exercise or niacin condition alone. The length of time required for triglyceride concentrations to peak was between 2 and 4 h, and it was not influenced by any of the conditions. Mean postprandial triglyceride responses for each condition are shown in Figure 3C. Postprandial triglycerides were lowered for up to 6 h in the exercise condition compared with control. Exercise also lowered the incremental triglyceride response, which accounts for fasting triglycerides (Figure 3D; P 쏝 0.0001). Fasting triglyceride concentrations were 37% lower after niacin administration compared with control (P 쏝 0.0001). However, niacin had no influence on the incremental triglyceride response

Alanine aminotransferase and ␥-glutamyl transferase concentrations were lower (P ҃ 0.02 for both) in the niacin condition than in the control condition, whereas aspartate aminotransferase concentrations remained the same in both conditions. Alanine aminotransferase concentrations were 33 앐 3 and 27 앐 2 U/L at baseline in the control and niacin conditions. Aspartate aminotransferase was 23 앐 1 and 23 앐 0.9 U/L at baseline in the control and niacin conditions. Uric acid concentrations remained unchanged throughout the study period. Nine of 15 participants reported mild-to-moderate flushing—in most cases, as cutaneous redness, itching, or tingling—at some point during the intervention. Despite the rapid titration used in this investigation, there was no relation between the weekly titrations of niacin and adverse reactions. Flushing events occurred randomly throughout the study but did not last 쏜2–3 h/event and usually did not occur on consecutive days. Fatigue was the second most commonly reported adverse reaction: 3 persons reported fatigue that remained present throughout the course of the niacin condition.

to a high-fat meal, and it attenuated the postprandial triglyceridelowering effect of exercise.

DISCUSSION

Postprandial insulin and glucose responses The insulin AUCT and AUCI were significantly greater after 6 wk of niacin compared with control (Figure 4). Niacin ѿ exercise lowered the insulin AUCI compared with control. Two-hour postprandial insulin concentrations were 54% higher in the niacin condition compared with control (Figure 5) (P ҃ 0.005). Exercise lowered 2-h postprandial insulin concentrations by 16% after niacin administration (P ҃ 0.02). Fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations were unchanged throughout the study. Mean (앐SEM) homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) scores for the baseline fasting insulin concentrations in the control, exercise, niacin, and niacin ѿ exercise conditions were 3.9 앐 0.8, 4.2 앐 0.5, 4.8 앐 0.7, and 5.3 앐 0.8, respectively. HOMA scores in the niacin and niacin ѿ exercise conditions were significantly higher than those in the control condition. Fasting triglyceride concentrations in the control condition were correlated with the triglyceride AUCT of the exercise (r ҃ 0.86, P ҃ 0.0002), niacin (r ҃ 0.81, P ҃ 0.0001), and niacin ѿ exercise (r ҃ 0.89, P ҃ 0.0001) conditions. Baseline fasting triglycerides were not correlated with the triglyceride AUCI in any of the conditions. There were no significant correlations between postprandial insulin and peak triglyceride responses or AUC at each condition. Diet and physical activity records Caloric intake and the percentage composition of carbohydrate, fat, and protein did not differ significantly before the control condition or throughout the blood sampling periods associated with the exercise and niacin ѿ exercise conditions, which suggested that diet did not have an appreciable influence on the results of the present study. Average daily energy expenditure

Our findings indicate that aerobic exercise performed 1 h before a high-fat meal reduces the triglyceride AUCI and AUCT in men with the metabolic syndrome. In contrast, 6 wk of extended-release niacin had no influence on the triglyceride AUCI, despite a decrease in the triglyceride AUCT. These results provide evidence that aerobic exercise lowers postprandial triglycerides without necessarily lowering fasting triglycerides. Niacin lowers fasting triglycerides but appears to attenuate the triglyceride-lowering effect of aerobic exercise. However, we found that the insulin AUCI and the peak insulin response were lower in the niacin ѿ exercise condition than in the niacin condition, which provided evidence that aerobic exercise reduces postprandial insulin concentrations after a high-fat meal in men taking extended-release niacin. The effects of aerobic exercise training on fasting and postprandial triglyceride concentrations have been attributed to the most recent session of exercise performed (17–19). Indeed, the postprandial triglyceride-lowering effect of aerobic exercise training was diminished when the exercise was performed 48 h before a high-fat meal (20, 21). In contrast, aerobic exercise performed 1–16 h before a meal reduces postprandial triglyceride concentrations by 18 –50% (5). Most studies conducted to date have examined the effects of aerobic exercise performed 12–16 h before a high-fat meal on postprandial triglycerides in healthy, physically fit persons. In the current investigation, we provide evidence that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise performed 1 h before a high-fat meal lowers the triglyceride AUCI by 32% and the peak triglyceride response by 18% in men with the metabolic syndrome. Zhang et al (22) found that the triglyceride AUCI was reduced by 32% in obese hypertriglyceridemic males when exercise was performed 12 h before a high-fat meal. These results provide evidence that, in men with the metabolic

syndrome, moderate-to-vigorous–intensity aerobic exercise performed 1 h before a high-fat meal reduces postprandial triglycerides to the same extent as does exercise performed 12 h before a high-fat meal. Previous investigations have used immediate-release forms of niacin (10) or high dosages (23) to quantify the effects of niacin on postprandial triglycerides. King et al (10) found that 12 wk of immediate-release niacin reduced the triglyceride AUCT by 41% and the triglyceride AUCI by 45% in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol concentrations. In the current investigation, 6 wk of extended-release niacin reduced the triglyceride AUCT by 23% and the peak triglyceride response by 18%. However, the triglyceride AUCI was not changed by niacin, which suggests that, although niacin reduced fasting triglycerides and the absolute triglyceride concentrations after a meal, the increase in postprandial triglycerides relative to baseline was similar to control. The conflicting triglyceride AUCI results between the current investigation and the study by King et al (10)

may be explained by differences in the methods used to calculate the incremental AUC. Instead of using the fasting triglyceride concentrations after the niacin intervention, King et al (10) used baseline triglyceride concentrations before the niacin intervention to calculate the triglyceride AUCI. In the present investigation, the triglyceride AUCI was calculated by using the baseline fasting triglyceride concentrations after the 6-wk niacin intervention. Although we did not investigate the mechanisms by which niacin attenuates the beneficial effects of aerobic exercise on postprandial triglycerides, it is possible that aerobic exercise and niacin work by similar mechanisms to lower postprandial triglyceride concentrations. We speculate that a decrease in hepatic triglyceride secretion is primarily responsible for the changes in postprandial triglycerides after both aerobic exercise and niacin administration (15). Our data are consistent with this possibility, because the postprandial triglyceride-lowering effect of exercise was attenuated after niacin administration. We also found that

We recognize that the absence of a crossover is an important limitation in this study; however, we wanted to characterize the postprandial triglyceride response to exercise and niacin both alone and in combination. Aerobic exercise was introduced before the administration of niacin in each subject, to be in agreement with therapeutic lifestyle changes recommended by the NCEP ATP III for sedentary persons with characteristics of the metabolic syndrome (2). The use of niacin in clinical practice has remained limited because of a number of adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions associated with niacin are flushing, nausea, loss of appetite, and reductions in insulin sensitivity (7, 24, 25). We found that cutaneous flushing was reported during the investigation in 60% of the participants. However, the event generally was isolated, as evidenced by 100% compliance and the absence of participant dropout. We observed a frequency and severity of reported adverse effects similar to those of previous investigations (26, 27). In conclusion, aerobic exercise lowered the triglyceride AUCT and was the only condition that lowered the triglyceride AUCI, which suggests that exercise reduces postprandial triglyceride concentrations without necessarily reducing fasting triglycerides. In contrast, extended-release niacin reduced fasting triglycerides but had no influence on the postprandial triglyceride response to a high-fat meal. Niacin also appears to attenuate the postprandial triglyceride-lowering effect of exercise. However, aerobic exercise lowered the insulin response to a high-fat meal after 6 wk of extended-release niacin, which suggests that exercise may attenuate the rise in postprandial insulin concentrations after niacin administration. More work with each intervention will be needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which aerobic exercise and niacin alter postprandial blood lipid and glucose metabolism.

fasting triglycerides were correlated with the subsequent postprandial triglyceride response (AUCT), which provides evidence that interventions designed to lower fasting triglycerides may alter the postprandial triglyceride-lowering effects of aerobic exercise. Therefore, it is possible that niacin administration reduces fasting and postprandial triglyceride secretion to the extent that aerobic exercise may provide no additional benefit, at least when performed 1 h before a high-fat meal. Niacin administration in the current investigation led to an increase in fasting insulin concentrations and the HOMA score, which is thought to reflect a reduction in insulin sensitivity. Reductions in insulin sensitivity are common with niacin administration and are associated with rebound elevations in serum nonesterified fatty acids, because niacin concentrations gradually decrease with each dose (8). In the current investigation, we found that extended-release niacin increased postprandial insulin concentrations by 54% by 2 h after a high-fat meal. However, aerobic exercise conducted after niacin administration attenuated the postprandial rise in insulin concentrations, which provided evidence that aerobic exercise may impart a metabolic benefit to persons taking extended-release niacin.
