Abstract: The inventors have determined that increasing the expression level or activity of FKBP-L polypeptide in a subject, which can be provided by expression of nucleic acids encoding FKBP-L or by providing FKBP-L polypeptides to a subject is advantageous for use in the treatment of obesity and obesity-related disorders. In particular increased expression or activity of FKBP-L polypeptide in a subject may be used to treat excessive weight gain (which can be characterised as obesity), glucose intolerance, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, which are closely linked to obesity and insulin resistance. FKBP-L can also be used as a biomarker for obesity and obesity-related disorders.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds and compositions containing reduced nicotinamide riboside for use in methods of prevention and/or treatment of liver disease and/or conditions. In one embodiment of the invention, said compounds and compositions of the invention improve liver by maintaining or improving liver function; maintaining or improving hepatocyte function; and improving liver recovery and regeneration after injury, transplantation or surgery. In another embodiment of the invention, compounds and compositions of the invention may be used in methods to prevent and/or treat liver diseases and/or conditions such as: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatic steatosis, cirrhosis and/or recovery and regeneration after liver injury, transplantation or surgery.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds and compositions containing reduced nicotinamide riboside for use in methods of prevention and/or treatment of kidney diseases and conditions. In one embodiment of the invention, said compounds and compositions of the invention improve kidney function by reducing formation of kidney cysts, reducing glomerule dilatation, reducing renal cell apoptosis and preventing increases in blood urea nitrogen. In another embodiment of the invention, compounds and compositions of the invention may be used in methods to prevent and/or treat acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, nephrotic syndrome, renal fibrosis and kidney cancer.
