Acipimox is an antilipolytic agent.{36963} It inhibits lipolysis induced by noradrenaline and theophylline in rat epididymal adipocytes when used at a concentration of 1 ?M. Acipimox (3 and 12 mg/kg, p.o.) decreases plasma free fatty acid levels in rats. It reduces plasma fatty acid concentration, the number of atherosclerotic plaques, and matrixmetalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity in ApoE-/- mice fed a palmitate-rich diet.{36965} Acipimox also reduces fasting blood glucose and plasma insulin levels as well as plasma free fatty acid and triglyceride levels in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Item No. 13104).{36964} Formulations containing acipimox have been used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
