Nicotinamide riboside does not alter mitochondrial respiration, content or morphology in skeletal muscle from obese and insulin-resistant men
Unknown authors
Published in Journal of Physiology
Key Findings
Twelve weeks of nicotinamide riboside did not change skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration, content or morphology.
Conclusions
NAD+ precursor supplementation does not measurably improve human muscle electron transport chain capacity.
Supplements Studied
Twelve weeks of nicotinamide riboside did not change skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration, content or morphology.
Outcomes Measured
These data do not support the hypothesis that dietary NR supplementation has significant impact on skeletal muscle mitochondria in obese and insulin-resistant men.
Respiration, distribution and quantity of muscle mitochondria are unaffected by NR.
