Augmented mitochondrial energy metabolism is an early response to chronic glucose stress in human pancreatic beta cells

Loïc Dayon, Andreas Wiederkehr, Sofia Moco, Isabelle Chareyron

Aims/hypothesis In islets from individuals with type 2 diabetes and in islets exposed to chronic elevated glucose, mitochondrial energy metabolism is impaired. Here, we studied early metabolic changes and mitochondrial adaptations in human beta cells durin ...

AlpsNMR: an R package for signal processing of fully untargeted NMR-based metabolomics

José Luis Abelleira Fernández, Sofia Moco

aSummary: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics is widely used to obtain metabolic fingerprints of biological systems. While targeted workflows require previous knowledge of metabolites, prior to statistical analysis, untargeted approaches re ...

Mitochondrial oxidative capacity and NAD(+) biosynthesis are reduced in human sarcopenia across ethnicities

Patrick Descombes, Tanja Sonntag, Sylviane Métairon, Sonia Karaz, Sofia Moco, Lei Feng

The causes of impaired skeletal muscle mass and strength during aging are well-studied in healthy populations. Less is known on pathological age-related muscle wasting and weakness termed sarcopenia, which directly impacts physical autonomy and survival. H ...

A reduced form of nicotinamide riboside defines a new path for NAD(+) biosynthesis and acts as an orally bioavailable NAD(+) precursor

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Richardus Houtkooper, Sofia Moco

Objective: A decay in intracellular NAD(+) levels is one of the hallmarks of physiological decline in normal tissue functions. Accordingly, dietary supplementation with NAD(+) precursors can prevent, alleviate, or even reverse multiple metabolic complicati ...

Endogenous nicotinamide riboside metabolism protects against diet-induced liver damage

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Sofia Moco, Joanna Ratajczak, Miriam Valera Alberni

Supplementation with the NAD(+) precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) ameliorates and prevents a broad array of metabolic and aging disorders in mice. However, little is known about the physiological role of endogenous NR metabolism. We have previously show ...

Reprint of: Musculoskeletal system in the old age and the demand for healthy ageing biomarkers

Martin Kussmann, Sofia Moco, Sebastiano Collino

Population ageing has emerged as a major demographic trend worldwide due to improved health and longevity. This global ageing phenomenon will have a major impact on health-care systems worldwide due to increased morbidity and greater needs for hospitalizat ...

Systems Biology Approaches for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Emphasis on Gut Microbial Metabolism

Martin Kussmann, Sofia Moco

Although the prevalence of main idiopathic forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has risen considerably over the last decades, their clinical features do not allow accurate prediction of prognosis, likelihood of disease progression, or response to spec ...

Impact of breast-feeding and high- and low-protein formula on the metabolism and growth of infants from overweight and obese mothers

Martin Kussmann, Sofia Moco, Sebastiano Collino, Laeticia Da Silva

BACKGROUND: The combination of maternal obesity in early pregnancy and high protein intake in infant formula feeding might predispose to obesity risk in later life. METHODS: This study assesses the impact of breast- or formula-feeding (differing in protein ...
