Nicotinamide riboside attenuates alcohol induced liver injuries via activation of SirT1/PGC-1α/mitochondrial biosynthesis pathway.
BACKGROUND: Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) precursor which is present in foods such as milk and beer. It was reported that NR can prevent obesity, [...]
Pharmacological bypass of NAD+ salvage pathway protects neurons from chemotherapy-induced degeneration
Significance Axon degeneration is caused by multiple chemotherapeutic agents and is a hallmark of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN is associated with the loss of [...]
A randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial of nicotinamide riboside in obese men: safety, insulin-sensitivity, and lipid-mobilizing effects
Abstract BACKGROUND: Animal studies suggest a positive role for nicotinamide riboside (NR) on insulin sensitivity and hepatic steatosis in models of obesity and type 2 diabetes. NR, an NAD+ precursor, [...]
Chronic nicotinamide riboside supplementation is well-tolerated and elevates NAD+ in healthy middle-aged and older adults
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has emerged as a critical co-substrate for enzymes involved in the beneficial effects of regular calorie restriction on healthspan. As such, [...]
Nicotinamide riboside, a form of vitamin B3, protects against excitotoxicity-induced axonal degeneration.
Abstract NAD depletion is a common phenomenon in neurodegenerative pathologies. Excitotoxicity occurs in multiple neurologic disorders and NAD was shown to prevent neuronal degeneration in this process [...]
NAD Deficiency, Congenital Malformations, and Niacin (Vitamin B3) Supplementation
Background Congenital malformations can be manifested as combinations of phenotypes that co-occur more often than expected by chance. In many such cases, it has proved [...]
