Nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene reduces markers of hepatic inflammation in NAFLD: A double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
NRPT 1X reduces ALT and ceramide 14:0 in 65% of subjects as compared to only 28% in the placebo group. Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing globally and on a path to becoming the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease. Strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD are urgently needed.

Sleep quality and weight-adjusted waist index in US adults: a cross-sectional study from NHANES 2015–2020

Annals of Medicine
Background Sleep quality, independent of sleep duration, has been linked to central obesity. However, prior findings are inconsistent, likely due to reliance on body mass index and waist circumference, which inadequately capture abdominal fat. The weight-
