Nicotinamide and pyridoxine stimulate muscle stem cell expansion and enhance regenerative capacity during aging
Nicotinamide and pyridoxine stimulate muscle stem cell expansion and enhance regenerative capacity during aging
Skeletal muscle relies on resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for growth and repair. Aging and muscle diseases impair MuSC function, leading to stem cell exhaustion and regenerative decline that contribute to the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. In the absence of clinically available nutritional solutions specifically targeting MuSCs, we used a human myogenic progenitor high-content imaging screen of natural molecules from food to identify nicotinamide (NAM) and pyridoxine (PN) as bioactive nutrients that stimulate MuSCs and have a history of safe human use. NAM and PN synergize via CK1-mediated cytoplasmic β-catenin activation and AKT signaling to promote amplification and differentiation of MuSCs. Oral treatment with a combination of NAM and PN accelerated muscle regeneration in vivo by stimulating MuSCs, increased muscle strength during recovery, and overcame MuSC dysfunction and regenerative failure during aging. Levels of NAM and bioactive PN spontaneously declined during aging in model organisms and interindependently associated with muscle mass and walking speed in a cohort of 186 aged people. Collectively, our results establish the NAM/PN combination as a nutritional intervention that stimulates MuSCs, enhances muscle regeneration, and alleviates age-related muscle decline with a direct opportunity for clinical translation.

The muscle stem cell case of Benjamin Button: rejuvenating muscle regenerative capacity through nutraceuticals
The muscle stem cell case of Benjamin Button: rejuvenating muscle regenerative capacity through nutraceuticals
Aging negatively affects the capacity of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) to regenerate muscle. In this issue of the JCI, Ancel, Michaud, and colleagues used a high-content imaging screen to identify nicotinamide and pyridoxine as promoters of MuSC function. The combination of the two compounds promoted MuSC function in vivo in aged mice and in primary cells isolated from older individuals. Furthermore, the two compounds were lower in the circulation of older men, paralleling decreases in lean mass and gait speed. These results advance the translational perspective of rejuvenating MuSC function through nutraceuticals

Chocolate intake and risk of type 2 diabetes: prospective cohort studies
Chocolate intake and risk of type 2 diabetes: prospective cohort studies
Objective To prospectively investigate the associations between dark, milk, and total chocolate consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in three US cohorts. Design Prospective cohort studies. Setting Nurses’ Health Study (NHS; 1986-2018), Nurses’ Health Study II (NHSII; 1991-2021), and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS; 1986-2020). Participants At study baseline for total chocolate analyses (1986 for NHS and HPFS; 1991 for NHSII), 192 208 participants without T2D, cardiovascular disease, or cancer were included. 111 654 participants were included in the analysis for risk of T2D by intake of chocolate subtypes, assessed from 2006 in NHS and HPFS and from 2007 in NHSII. Main outcome measure Self-reported incident T2D, with patients identified by follow-up questionnaires and confirmed through a validated supplementary questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for T2D according to chocolate consumption. Results In the primary analyses for total chocolate, 18 862 people with incident T2D were identified during 4 829 175 person years of follow-up. After adjusting for personal, lifestyle, and dietary risk factors, participants consuming ≥5 servings/week of any chocolate showed a significant 10% (95% CI 2% to 17%; P trend=0.07) lower rate of T2D compared with those who never or rarely consumed chocolate. In analyses by chocolate subtypes, 4771 people with incident T2D were identified. Participants who consumed ≥5 servings/week of dark chocolate showed a significant 21% (5% to 34%; P trend=0.006) lower risk of T2D. No significant associations were found for milk chocolate intake. Spline regression showed a linear dose-response association between dark chocolate intake and risk of T2D (P for linearity=0.003), with a significant risk reduction of 3% (1% to 5%) observed for each serving/week of dark chocolate consumption. Intake of milk, but not dark, chocolate was positively associated with weight gain. Conclusions Increased consumption of dark, but not milk, chocolate was associated with lower risk of T2D. Increased consumption of milk, but not dark, chocolate was associated with long term weight gain. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to replicate these findings and further explore the mechanisms. No additional data available.
