Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The combination of nicotinic acid and gemfibrozil reduced atherogenic by IDL 71%, dense LDL-III by 52%, and apolipoprotein B by 37% and increased protective HDL(2) by 90%.
The combination of nicotinic acid and gemfibrozil resulted in a further 17.8% reduction in apolipoprotein B (p = 0.06), a further 33.8% reduction in IDL (p = 0.06), and a greater reduction in the apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A-I ratio (p = 0.02).
