Summary
Niacinamide in large doses (3-5 g) administered intravenously increased significantly cerebral blood flow and cerebral oxygen consumption, but decreased mean arterial blood pressure and cerebral vascular resistance in dogs. This drug in small doses had no such effects. The increase in cerebral blood flow was attributed to an increase in cardiac output associated with a decrease in cerebral vascular resistance.
