The mechanism of niacin in anti-mastitis and enhanced blood milk barrier. GPR109A can alleviate mastitis mainly through two ways. On the one hand, it can alleviate the inflammatory response of mammary epithelial cells and protect the integrity of blood milk barrier by activating AMPK/Nrf2 and autophagy. On the other hand, it can reduce the damage of mammary epithelial cells by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory mediators by macrophages.
