Abstract:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with insulin resistance and altered hepatic energy metabolism, with imbalanced glucose and lipid metabolism. Nicotinamide riboside (NR) has recently emerged as a potential therapeutic for a broad range of metabolic abnormalities. Here, we evaluate the effect of NR treatment on hepatic substrate metabolism in mice with NAFLD. NAFLD was induced by feeding the animals with a choline-deficient, amino acid-define (CDAA) diet for 4 weeks. Mice (C57BL/6) in the N… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
