The advantages to the pups being nursed by NR-supplemented [nicotinamide riboside] moms were striking and long-lasting. The pups were bigger and had better metabolic health than pups nursed by non-supplemented moms. As adults, they also had better motor coordination, better learning and memory, and were less anxious and more resilient to stress. Despite the fact that all the pups were treated the same after weaning and were never given NR, the offspring of the moms that received NR continued to outperform the control mice in terms of physical health, brain development, and behavior through adulthood.
The findings, published Jan. 22 in Cell Reports, suggest that NR has the potential to improve the quantity and quality of mothers' milk in ways that could improve childhood development in a lasting fashion.
