ChromaDex Corp. announced today that the results of a preclinical study conducted by Nestlé were published last month in the journal Nature Communications, a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal published by the Nature Publishing Group. The study investigated the impact on the liver when its cells lose the ability to use the nutrient nicotinamide riboside (NR). The preclinical study concluded that the tissue’s natural ability to utilize NR is important for maintaining resilience during periods of metabolic stress such as a high-fat diet. It is also the first study to show the physiological consequences that arise when cells lose the ability to use NR.
