Delivery of A Chemically Modified Noncoding RNA Domain Improves Dystrophic Myotube Function

Fast twitch muscle fibers are prone to degradation in skeletal muscle pathologies, such as sarcopenia and muscular dystrophies. We previously showed that the exercise-induced long noncoding RNA CYTOR promotes fast-twitch myogenesis. Here, we identify an in ...

Nicotinamide and Pyridoxine Stimulate Muscle Stem Cell Expansion and Enhance Regenerative Capacity During Aging

Sara Ancel, Sruthi Raja

Skeletal muscle relies on resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for growth and repair. Aging and muscle diseases impair MuSC function, leading to stem cell exhaustion and regenerative decline that contribute to the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and ...

Mitochondrial matrix protein LETMD1 maintains thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue in male mice

Johan Auwerx, Jun Yong Kim, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Xiaoxu Li

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has abundant mitochondria with the unique capability of generating heat via uncoupled respiration. Here, Park et al. identify LETMD1 as a mitochondrial matrix protein enriched in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and reveal a crucial ro ...

GPS2-mediated regulation of the adipocyte secretome modulates adipose tissue remodeling at the onset of diet-induced obesity

Johan Auwerx, Hao Li

Objective: Dysfunctional, unhealthy expansion of white adipose tissue due to excess dietary intake is a process at the root of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes development. The objective of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the underlying ...

Cognitive Impairment and Metabolite Profile Alterations in the Hippocampus and Cortex of Male and Female Mice Exposed to a Fat and Sugar-Rich Diet are Normalized by Diet Reversal

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Adélaïde Alice Mohr

Diabetes impacts on brain metabolism, structure, and function. Alterations in brain metabolism have been observed in obesity and diabetes models induced by exposure to diets rich in saturated fat and/or sugar and have been linked to memory impairment. Howe ...

Urolithin A improves muscle strength, exercise performance, and biomarkers of mitochondrial health in a randomized trial in middle-aged adults

Johan Auwerx, Patrick Aebischer, Pénélope Andreux

Targeting mitophagy to activate the recycling of faulty mitochondria during aging is a strategy to mitigate muscle decline. We present results from a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in middle-aged adults where we administer a postbiotic compound Uroli ...

Dopamine and Methamphetamine Differentially Affect Electron Transport Chain Complexes and Parkin in Rat Striatum: New Insight into Methamphetamine Neurotoxicity

Bernard Schneider

Methamphetamine (METH) is a highly abused psychostimulant that is neurotoxic to dopaminergic (DAergic) nerve terminals in the striatum and increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD). In vivo, METH-mediated DA release, followed by DA-mediated ...

SMN Depleted Mice Offer a Robust and Rapid Onset Model of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Bernard Schneider

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered a health epidemic with potential devastating effects on the patients and the healthcare systems. Current preclinical models of NAFLD are invariably imperfect and generally take a lon ...

The exercise-induced long noncoding RNA CYTOR promotes fast-twitch myogenesis in aging

Johan Auwerx, Giorgia Benegiamo, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Mario Romani

Skeletal muscle displays remarkable plasticity upon exercise and is also one of the organs most affected by aging. Despite robust evidence that aging is associated with loss of fast-twitch (type II) muscle fibers, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elu ...

The Effects of Time-Restricted Eating versus Standard Dietary Advice on Weight, Metabolic Health and the Consumption of Processed Food: A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial in Community-Based Adults

Felix Naef, Nicholas Edward Phillips

Weight loss is key to controlling the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components, i.e., central obesity, hypertension, prediabetes and dyslipidaemia. The goals of our study were two-fold. First, we characterised the relationships b ...

Nicotinamide riboside supplementation alters body composition and skeletal muscle acetylcarnitine concentrations in healthy obese humans

Johan Auwerx, Richardus Houtkooper

Background: Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is an NAD(+) precursor that boosts cellular NAD(+) concentrations. Preclinical studies have shown profound metabolic health effects after NR supplementation. ...

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 ...

The phenotypic impact of naturally occurring genetic and molecular mitochondrial variation in a Drosophila Genetic Reference Population

Roel Paulus Josephus Bevers

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies aim to dissect the relationship between genotype and phenotype. So far, the focus has been on nuclear genetic determinants as variation in the mitochondrial genome is often low in the study cohorts. Despite this observ ...
