The average weight of a sheepshead is 1.4 to 1.8 kg (3 to 4 lb), but some individuals reach the range of 4.5 to 6.8 kg (10 to 15 lb). [11] This species was subjected to overfishing in the past, and is again becoming more important to commercial fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico as more desirable species, like red drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ...
The Asian sheephead wrasse, as the common name indicates, is a wrasse, and thus is in the family Labridae.It has long been placed in the genus Semicossyphus, along with the California and goldspot sheephead wrasses, [2] [3] [4] but a 2016 molecular phylogenetics study suggested that it (along with its two congeners in Semicossyphus) be moved to Bodianus, as Semicossyphus was nested deep within ...
A man with pellagra, which is caused by a chronic lack of vitamin B 3 in the diet. Severe deficiency of niacin in the diet causes the disease pellagra, characterized by diarrhea, sun-sensitive dermatitis involving hyperpigmentation and thickening of the skin (see image), inflammation of the mouth and tongue, delirium, dementia, and if left untreated, death.

Sheepshead minnow, Cyprinodon variegatus variegatus, a small brackish-water fish; Sheepshead porgy, Calamus penna, a medium-sized saltwater fish of the Atlantic Ocean;
The species is most closely related to the Asian sheephead wrasse.The California, Asian, and goldspot sheephead wrasses were previously considered to form their own genus Semicossyphus, but are now lumped into Bodianus, after molecular phylogenetics showed that Semicossyphus was nested deep within Bodianus.
Example of a label showing the amount of niacin (Vitamin B3), and specifying to be niacinamide in the ingredient section.. The United States adopted in 1942 the terms niacin to nicotinic acid and niacinamide to nicotinamide to avoid references to nicotine, [12] [13] the terms were incorporated into the United States Adopted Name [14] that was created later in 1961.
It was a combination of the lipid-modifying drug/vitamin niacin in extended release form and the statin drug lovastatin (trade name Mevacor). The combination preparation was developed by Kos Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was acquired by Abbott Laboratories in 2006, subsequently transferred to AbbVie Inc. when that company was spun off from ...
Pellagra is a disease caused by a lack of the vitamin niacin (vitamin B 3). [2] Symptoms include inflamed skin, diarrhea, dementia, and sores in the mouth. [1] Areas of the skin exposed to friction and radiation are typically affected first. [1] Over time affected skin may become darker, stiffen, peel, or bleed. [1] [3]
