Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Placebo controlled evaluation of effectiveness of nicotine acid in treatment of postprandial dyslipidemia in patients with metabolic syndrome. Nicotine acid decreases postprandial hyperlipidaemia in patients with metabolic syndrome which reduces the low-grade inflammation and the risk of atherosclerosis.
