NAD(+) homeostasis in health and disease

Johan Auwerx, Mario Romani, Elena Katsyuba, Dina Hofer

The conceptual evolution of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) from being seen as a simple metabolic cofactor to a pivotal cosubstrate for proteins regulating metabolism and longevity, including the sirtuin family of protein deacylases, has led to ...

Niacin: an old lipid drug in a new NAD(+) dress

Johan Auwerx, Mario Romani, Elena Katsyuba, Dina Hofer

Niacin, the first antidyslipidemic drug, has been at the center stage of lipid research for many decades before the discovery of statins. However, to date, despite its remarkable effects on lipid profiles, the clinical outcomes of niacin treatment on cardi ...
