Scientists in China show that NMN increases intestinal mucus secretion, repairs the intestinal wall, and promotes probiotic growth in a mouse model for inflammatory bowel disease. By Victor Ciardha Original Article: www.nmn.com Highlights: (Huang et al., 2022 | CRFS) Summary of Findings. When mice modeling IBD are fed NMN, the length of their colon increases, […]
Brazilian scientists show that resveratrol reduces markers of inflammation and senescence (functional deterioration) in brain cells taken from aged rats. By Victor Ciardha Original Article: www.nmn.com Highlights: The hypothalamus controls everything from our reproductive success to our sleep-wake cycles. Scientists hypothesize that when this region of the brain becomes inflamed, our body is knocked out […]
Japanese scientists find that NMN reduces blood vessel stiffness in middle-aged adults with higher-than-average weight and blood glucose levels. By Victor Ciardha Original Article: www.nmn.com Highlights: Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a promising anti-aging therapeutic, as it promotes the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a molecule that declines with aging. NMN’s anti-aging potential stems from […]
Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis show that the enzyme behind NMN biosynthesis – NAMPT – reverses metabolic derangements in obese mice. By Jonathan D. Grinstein, Ph.D. www.nmn.com Highlights NAMPT, the enzyme that generates NMN, is needed to enhance the balance of fat (lipid) and sugar (glucose) in metabolically stressed […]
Chinese scientists find that NMN protects against intestinal damage caused by radiation — commonly used to treat elderly cancer patients. By Victor Ciardha 2022. Original Article: www.nmn.com Highlights: Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat elderly cancer patients who are often too frail to undergo surgery or receive chemotherapy. However, 60 to 80% of patients who […]
Italian scientists find that the anti-aging compound resveratrol mitigates markers of aging, including abnormal heart rhythms and senescent cells in a human heart model. By Victor Ciardha www.nmn.com Highlights: Treatment with resveratrol restores the abnormal heart rhythms produced by aged cardiac cells. Resveratrol also diminishes senescent cells, acting as a senolytic — drug that […]
