The quest to slow ageing through drug discovery
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32467649/ This is a really good review paper that systemically reviewed known anti-aging drugs. In this review paper, the authors summarized recent efforts on identifying compounds with longevity properties. They then selected a few longevity compounds from animal stu...

Fisetin blocks sumoylation of tumor suppressor p53 and promote its activity
This paper provides the mechanism of anti-cancer property of fisetin. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32530958/ Fisetin was previously reported to induce the p53-mediated apoptotic pathway in human renal carcinoma cells [40]. Yet, the underlying mechanism and direct connection to SUMO1 has not been ...

Keto diet reduces the levels of intestinal pro-inflammatory cells.
Very low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diets (KDs) induce a pronounced shift in metabolic fuel utilization that elevates circulating ketone bodies; however, the consequences of these compounds for host-microbiome interactions remain unknown. Here, we show that KDs alter the human and mouse gut mi...

Re: Fasting and Ellyptical
Hi jessicaP, welcome to the forum. There were some reports said long-term fasting is more difficult for female than male, probably due to sex difference. It would be interesting if NAD precursor plays a role in helping fasting, great to hear!

Re: One pill a day could cure Type II Diabetes
A few years ago, my wife was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Although the article below is a bit dated, it explains very well how NAD+ boosters can actually reverse this terrible, life-threatening disease. Since her initial diagnoses, she began taking NMN, not steadily or in great quantity at first...

WARNING: NDMA in metformin
Preprint published yesterday: Recent reports of metformin drug products contaminated with unacceptable levels of the probable human carcinogen N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) prompted a national sampling of post-market metformin drug products. To most broadly sample the market and minimize supply chai...

NAD+ Controls Circadian Reprogramming to Counter Aging
This study shows that the age-dependent degeneracy of the circadian timing system can be reversed in mice by pharmacologically increasing the intracellular pools of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1097276520302367?via%3Dihub Comment fr...
