Metabolic effects of chronic dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH) administration in mice - Microbiome 16S rRNA sequencing of murine feces (NRH treatment)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: NAD+ is a crucial cofactor for the activity of various enzymes, including sirtuins and ADP-ribosyl transferases, and its decline is associated with aging and metabolic-related diseases. Therefore, a strong interest has been raised in the therapeutic use of NAD+ precursors (Vitamin B3s), but many suffer from poor bioavailability and adverse effects. This study characterizes the metabolic impact of dihydronicotinamide riboside, a recently identified novel form of NAD+ precursor. Upon oral administration in mice, NRH reaches all tissues examined. Chronic administration in low-fat diet-fed mice showed negligible metabolic effects, while high-fat diet-fed mice were protected against body weight gain and glucose intolerance. However, our study also unveiled potential side effects at higher doses. Thus, NRH could constitute an alternative NAD+ boosting strategy to prevent diet-induced metabolic complications and conditions associated with low NAD+ levels, but the therapeutic window must be optimized to maximize benefits and minimize risks.
