Balancing NAD(+) deficits with nicotinamide riboside: therapeutic possibilities and limitations

Carlos Canto Alvarez

Alterations in cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) levels have been observed in multiple lifestyle and age-related medical conditions. This has led to the hypothesis that dietary supplementation with NAD(+) precursors, or vitamin B3s, could ...

Differential role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide deficiency in acute and chronic kidney disease

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Elena Katsyuba

Background. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a ubiquitous coenzyme involved in electron transport and a cosubstrate for sirtuin function. NAD(+) deficiency has been demonstrated in the context of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods. We studied ...

Transient vitamin B5 starving improves mammalian cell homeostasis and protein production

Nicolas Mermod

Maintaining a metabolic steady state is essential for an organism's fitness and survival when confronted with environmental stress, and metabolic imbalance can be reversed by exposing the organism to fasting. Here, we attempted to apply this physiological ...

A reduced form of nicotinamide riboside defines a new path for NAD(+) biosynthesis and acts as an orally bioavailable NAD(+) precursor

Richardus Houtkooper, Carlos Canto Alvarez

Objective: A decay in intracellular NAD(+) levels is one of the hallmarks of physiological decline in normal tissue functions. Accordingly, dietary supplementation with NAD(+) precursors can prevent, alleviate, or even reverse multiple metabolic complicati ...
