Also known as nicotinic acid, this is a precursor of the energy-producing coenzymes in the body called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides NADs, which are consumed in all sorts of metabolic processes, including cell growth and lipid production. ❋ Ellen Marmur (2009)
They believe that the real regulator of Sir2 is nicotinamide, which is one of the products of the reaction between Sir2 and NAD. ❋ Unknown (2003)
His later researches at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute have led to the discovery that the flavins and the nicotinamide were the active groups of the hydrogen-transferring enzymes. ❋ Unknown (1965)
A form of vitamin B3 called nicotinamide can reverse the molecular, cellular, and behavioral effects ... ❋ Editors (2010)
Vitamin B3 - Niacin (Vitamin B3) is more commonly known as nicotinamide in the biochemical community and plays an important role in the biosynthesis of pyridine nucleotides.
Two unique forms of vitamin B3 (called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, or NADP) are essential for conversion of the body's proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into usable energy. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The compound, called nicotinamide riboside (NR) - a natural NAD+ precursor found in foods like milk - as well as other NR derivatives have already been proven to protect against cell death and axonal degeneration in cultured cells and in models of spinal cord injury. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In work reported this week in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers reported that large doses of the commonly available vitamin B3 (also known as nicotinamide) were able to reverse the effects of Alzheimer's in mice. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Harden and Young also demonstrated that the process stops before all sugar (glucose) has been used up, but it starts again on addition of inorganic phosphate, and they suggested that hexose phosphates are formed in the early steps of fermentation. von Euler had done important work on the structure of co-zymase, shown to be nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD, earlier called DPN). ❋ Unknown (2010)
It is also known as niacin (nicotinic acid) and has two other forms, niacinamide (nicotinamide) and inositol hexanicotinate. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)
The nicotinamide form of vitamin B3 is an extremely powerful cell protectant and can prevent damage to DNA. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)
Plants grown in soil contaminated by nicotinamide have shown it in their systems. ❋ Unknown (2009)
