Nicotinamide riboside chloride

Nicotinamide riboside chloride is a crystal form of Nicotinamide riboside (NR) chloride which is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD[+]) precursor vitamin. Nicotinamide riboside chloride increases NAD[+] levels and activates SIRT1 and SIRT3, culminating in enhanced oxidative metabolism and protection against high fat diet-induced metabolic abnormalities. Nicotinamide riboside chloride is used in dietary supplements[1].

Nicotinamide riboside chloride (0.5 nM; 24 hours) reduces the acetylation status of Ndufa9 and SOD2[1]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: HEK293T cells Concentration: 0.5 nM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Reduced the acetylation status of Ndufa9 and SOD2.

Chronic Nicotinamide riboside chloride (p.o.; 400 mg/kg/day; for 16 weeks) supplementation increases plasma and intracellular NAD[+] content in a tissue-specific manner[1]. Animal Model: 10-week-old C57Bl/6J mice[1] Dosage: 400 mg/kg Administration: p.o.; daily; for 16 weeks Result: Increased plasma and intracellular NAD[+] content in a tissue-specific manner.
