Nicotinamide riboside attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury via regulating SIRT3/SOD2 signaling pathway
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 May 3;175:116689. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116689. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIschemic heart disease invariably leads to devastating damage to human health. Nicotinamide ribose (NR), as one of the precursors of NAD+ synthesis, has been discovered to exert a protective role in various neurological and cardiovascular disorders. Our findings demonstrated that pretreatment with 200 mg/kg NR for 3 h significantly reduced myocardial infarct area, decreased levels of CK-MB and LDH in serum, and improved cardiac function in the rats during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Meanwhile, 0.5 ...

The role of vitamins and nutrients in rosacea
AbstractRosacea is a common inflammatory skin condition displaying symptoms like flushing, erythema, papules, and pustules. Oral antibiotics, despite long-term adverse effects, are often used due to topical treatment limitations, underscoring the need for cost-effective choices like dietary modifications. Our review investigates the role of vitamins and minerals in rosacea, and provides evidence-based recommendations for supplementation and topical treatment of these nutrients for rosacea. An online search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov from 1998 to 2023. Inc...

Atherosclerosis Residual Lipid Risk-Overview of Existing and Future Pharmacotherapies
J Cardiovasc Dev Dis. 2024 Apr 21;11(4):126. doi: 10.3390/jcdd11040126.ABSTRACTPatients with atherosclerotic disease remain at increased risk of future events despite receiving optimal medical treatment. This residual risk is widely heterogeneous, but lipoprotein particles and their content play a major role in determining future cardiovascular events. Beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), other lipoprotein particles have not demonstrated similar contribution to the progression of atherosclerosis. Statins, ezetimibe, and more recently, proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors and bempedoic ...

A Magnesium Binding Site And The Anomeric Effect Regulate The Abiotic Redox Chemistry Of Nicotinamide Nucleotides
Chemistry. 2024 Apr 19:e202400411. doi: 10.1002/chem.202400411. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a redox active molecule that is universally found in biology. Despite the importance and simplicity of this molecule, few reports exist that investigate which molecular features are important for the activity of this ribodinucleotide. By exploiting the nonenzymatic reduction and oxidation of NAD+ by pyruvate and methylene blue, respectively, we were able to identify key molecular features necessary for the intrinsic activity of NAD+ through kinetic analysis. Such features may explain how...

Nicotinic acid availability impacts redox cofactor metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during alcoholic fermentation
This study elucidated the timing of nicotinic acid uptake during grape juice-like fermentation and its impact on NAD(H) levels, the NAD+/NADH ratio, and metabolites produced. Complete uptake of extracellular nicotinic acid occurred pre-mid-exponential phase, thereafter small amounts of vitamin B3 were exported back into the medium. Suboptimal levels of nicotinic acid were correlated with slower fermentation and reduced biomass, disrupting redox balance and impeding NAD+ regeneration, thereby affecting metabolite production. Metabolic outcomes varied with nicotinic acid concentrations, linking NAD+ availability to fermentat...

Niacin supplementation attenuates the regression of three ‐dimensional capillary architecture in unloaded female rat skeletal muscle
In this study involving adult female Sprague –Dawley rats, the animals were randomly assigned to one of four groups: control (CON), hindlimb unloading (HU), NA, and HU with NA supplementation (HU + NA). For a period of 2 weeks, the rats in the HU and HU + NA groups underwent HU, while those in the NA and HU + NA groups received NA (750 mg/kg) twice daily through oral administration. The results demonstrated that HU lowered capillary number, luminal diameter, and capillary volume, as well as decreased succinate dehydrogenase activity, slow fiber composition, and PGC-1α expression within the soleus muscle....
