niacin and Dementia

niacin has been researched along with Dementia in 33 studies

Niacin: A water-soluble vitamin of the B complex occurring in various animal and plant tissues. It is required by the body for the formation of coenzymes NAD and NADP. It has PELLAGRA-curative, vasodilating, and antilipemic properties.
vitamin B3 : Any member of a group of vitamers that belong to the chemical structural class called pyridines that exhibit biological activity against vitamin B3 deficiency. Vitamin B3 deficiency causes a condition known as pellagra whose symptoms include depression, dermatitis and diarrhea. The vitamers include nicotinic acid and nicotinamide (and their ionized and salt forms).
nicotinic acid : A pyridinemonocarboxylic acid that is pyridine in which the hydrogen at position 3 is replaced by a carboxy group.

Dementia: An acquired organic mental disorder with loss of intellectual abilities of sufficient severity to interfere with social or occupational functioning. The dysfunction is multifaceted and involves memory, behavior, personality, judgment, attention, spatial relations, language, abstract thought, and other executive functions. The intellectual decline is usually progressive, and initially spares the level of consciousness.

"Nicergoline (NE)--a cerebral vasodilator with nicotinic acid esterified in its molecule--and Antagonic-Stress (AS) composition--a neurometabolic nootropic, also containing nicotinic acid but with fast and prolonged release--were evaluated in senile dementia of Alzheimer's type (SDAT), mild to moderate intensity (DSM-IV Options Book, 1991 and ICD-10, 1990 criteria)."5.07Superiority of antagonic-stress composition versus nicergoline in gerontopsychiatry.

"Pellagra, caused by vitamin B3 (niacin) deficiency, is traditionally described as dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia (3D), and even death (4D) syndrome if not recognized and treated promptly."3.96Pellagra, an Almost-Forgotten Differential Diagnosis of Chronic Diarrhea: More Prevalent Than We Think. ( Cao, S; Cestodio, K; Wang, X, 2020)
"AbstractPellagra is a deficiency of niacin or its amino acid precursor, tryptophan, which presents with the classic four Ds: the characteristic dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and eventually death if left untreated."3.85An Outbreak of Pellagra in the Kasese Catchment Area, Dowa, Malawi. ( Dunn, SH; Matapandeu, G; Pagels, P, 2017)
" We report a patient with Wernicke encephalopathy, a B1 deficiency and pellagra, a niacin deficiency."3.81Wernicke encephalopathy and pellagra in an alcoholic and malnourished patient. ( Kinoshita, K; Taguchi, S; Terada, N; Tokuda, Y, 2015)
" The disease is caused by a deficiency of niacin and is clinically characterized by the triad of dermatitis, diarrhoea and dementia."3.78Pellagra: a non-communicable disease of poverty. ( Chamdula, A; Frank, GP; Koop, K; van Oosterhout, JJ; Voorend, DM, 2012)
"However, cases of pellagra are recently reported in West Europe, USA, Australia, and Japan in connection with chronic alcoholism, gastrointestinal malabsorption, and some medications."1.35The diagnostic importance of photosensitivity dermatoses in chronic alcoholism: report of two cases.
