Mitochondrial and NAD plus metabolism predict recovery from acute kidney injury in a diverse mouse population

Johan Auwerx, Alexis Maximilien Bachmann, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Giacomo Vincenzo Giorgio Von Alvensleben, Dina Hofer, Yang Li, Jean-David Horacio Morel

Acute kidney failure and chronic kidney disease are global health issues steadily rising in incidence and prevalence. Animal models on a single genetic background have so far failed to recapitulate the clinical presentation of human nephropathies. Here, we ...

NAD(+) homeostasis in health and disease

Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Mario Romani, 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

Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Mario Romani, 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 ...

N-acetylaspartate availability is essential for juvenile survival on fat-free diet and determines metabolic health

Johan Auwerx, Dina Hofer

N-acetylaspartate (NAA) is synthesized by aspartate N-acetyltransferase (gene: Nat8l) from acetyl-coenzyme A and aspartate. In the brain, NAA is considered an important energy metabolite for lipid synthesis. However, the role of NAA in peripheral tissues r ...
