Effects of Stress on the Urinary Excretory Pattern of Niacin Catabolites, the Most Reliable Index of Niacin Status, in Humans.

Abstract: SummaryUrinary output of water-soluble vitamins has been used as an indices for vita min nutrition. It has been pointed out that the coefficient variance of these values is high, especially for niacin catabolites. Thus, we investigated what kinds of stress affect the catabo lism using female subjects. The effects of cold exposure (as a typical physical stress), calcula tion exercise (a typical mental stress) and dark exposure (a typical emotional stress) on the metabolism of niacin were investigated. Of the st… Show more

“…Total blood niacin concentrations in this study were similar to previous reports for total-blood niacin ranging from 6.89 to 7.93 μg/mL (Dufva et al, 1983;Campbell et al, 1994;Zimbelman et al, 2010). The decrease in blood niacin concentration during thermal stress is in agreement with reports of increased niacin metabolism in humans subjected to stress (Okamoto et al, 2002). Because niacin has been shown to be directly and indirectly cytoprotective against heat stress in vitro (Collier et al, 2008), it is not surprising that niacin metabolism might increase during thermal stress.…”

“…In current literature and guidelines, the 24-h urinary excretion of N 1 -MN as a breakdown product of NAD + is conceived the gold standard biomarker for assessment of niacin status [20,21]. Considerable evidence has, however, implied this biomarker to be responsive to multiple physiological and pathological factors [50][51][52][53][54][55], and most recently to renal function [30], and noted opposing shifts of 2Py excretion in parallel to N 1 -MN excretion [30,54]. Given the furthermore presumed presence of increased enzymatic conversion of N 1 -MN to 2Py in conditions of renal function impairment [30,55,56], additional interpretation of 2Py, rather than N 1 -MN alone, is indicated to address niacin status in KTR.…”
