Niacin is a water-soluble B vitamin also known as vitamin B3. This means that niacin is not stored in the body. You need to eat foods rich in niacin every day. Niacin helps your body use fat, protein and carbohydrates from foods to make energy.
HIP ABDUCTOR MUSCLES The hip abductor muscles are a group of four muscles located in the buttocks and lateral hip region on both sides of the body. Their names are: 1) Gluteus Maximus, 2) Gluteus Medius, 3) Gluteus Minimus, and 4) Tensor Fascia Lata. These muscles are shown in Figure 1 below: Figure 1.
When the legs open, such as in the lotus posture of yoga, this is called external rotation, with the opposite movement called internal rotation. Hip abduction occurs when the femur moves outward to the side, as in taking the thighs apart. Hip adduction occurs when the femur moves back to the midline. Many muscles contribute to these movements: 1  Medial rotation of the hip is carried out by gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. 2  The psoas is the primary hip flexor, assisted by the iliacus. 3  The pectineus, the adductors longus, brevis, and magnus, as well as the tensor fasciae latae are also involved in flexion.
