Nicotinamide Riboside Helps Maintain Mitochondrial Health and Meat Quality in Pork: Preclinical Findings

Synopsis

Early postmortem muscle mitochondrial function and cell death affect pork quality, including color stability. This study tested whether nicotinamide riboside (NR) given to pigs before harvest could help. Pigs fed NR had better mitochondrial function, with slower loss of mitochondrial integrity and reduced activation of proteins involved in apoptosis in the first 24 hours after slaughter. These effects may help maintain meat color and quality during storage, showing NR's potential to protect postmortem muscle at the cellular level.
