Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study will investigate the effects of 6 week Nicotinamide Riboside supplementation (1000 mg/day) on metabolic health in healthy (pre)obese humans. The primary objective will be hepatic and whole body insulin sensitivity. Secondary objectives, to provide information about the underlying mechanism, will be muscle mitochondrial function, brown fat activity, ectopic lipid accumulation, energy metabolism, cardiovascular risk parameters, body composition and acetylcarnitine levels.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Insulin sensitivity: muscle- and liver specific
Time Frame: 6 weeks after supplementation
Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp: Rate of glucose disappearance (Rd) will be calculated by using tracer kinetics.

- Muscle mitochondrial function (ex vivo)(6 weeks after supplementation)
- Ectopic lipid accumulation(6 weeks after supplementation)
- Brown adipose tissue activity(6 weeks after supplementation)
- Cardiovascular risk parameters(6 weeks after supplementation)
- Whole body energy expenditure(6 weeks after supplementation)
- Acetylcarnitine levels(6 weeks after supplementation)
