研究概览
简要总结
The investigator would like to see if aspirin could block niacin-induced flushing by analyzing blood and urine after taking aspirin.
Phase I: Subjects were assigned to either placebo or aspirin groups. They were given 5 days of 81 mg aspirin or placebo. On day 5, they were given a single dose of niacin (600 mg) administered 30 minutes after the last dose of aspirin or placebo. The same subjects came back for cross-over study and were assigned to a different group. There was a 2-week washout period between each treatment. Urine was collected sequentially for analysis
Phase II: The same study subjects come back for an open label one week study. They were given 5 days of taking 81 mg Aspirin, taken once daily, followed by a single dose of 600 mg Niacin on day 6. Urine was collected sequentially for analysis
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to look at the roles of various blood cells and their contributions of different prostaglandins. The intention is that by better understanding these prostaglandins and various metabolites, it will provide insights into their roles in the cardiovascular system.
Prostaglandins and metabolites are naturally occurring substances found in the blood and urine which can act as markers which can be quantified and studied as we will be doing in this study. Flushing response to niacin will also be assessed by laser doppler measuring blood flow of the facial skin.
Untransformed and transformed data will be subjected to exploratory analysis of variance appropriated for a three factor design with one two period crossover factor and two non-repeated factors. Additionally, volunteer's test(s) for paired observations will characterize the magnitude of the niacin effect on the response variables within selected time points.

研究组 & 干预措施
Placebo phase I
Subjects were given 5 days of placebo. On day 5, they were given a single dose of niacin (600 mg) administered 30 minutes after the last dose of placebo. Urine was collected sequentially for analysis. The same subjects came back for cross-over study and were assigned to Aspirin group. There was a 2-week washout period between each treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Percentage Change of Area Under Curve for the Urinary Prostaglandins Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) in Response to Aspirin or Placebo
时间窗: -2-0, 0-2, 2-4, 4-6, 6-12 and 12-24 hours pre or post niacin
Percentage change of area under the urinary prostaglandins concentration versus time curve (AUC) in response to niacin with or without pretreatment of aspirin was studied. This outcome measures whether aspirin instead of placebo will impact the subjects' response to niacin. The area was normalized by percentile.
