Abstract

Circadian control of NAD(+) bioavailability modulates mitochondrial oxidative function and organismal metabolism across the daily cycles of fasting and feeding.

  • Circadian clocks synchronize cellular processes with the solar cycle, influencing metabolic activities.
  • The clock transcription feedback loop produces cycles of NAD(+) biosynthesis and mitochondrial respiration.
  • Modulation of mitochondrial protein acetylation is linked to the regulation of oxidative metabolic pathways.
  • SIRT3 activity shows rhythmic patterns in relation to acetylation and oxidative enzyme function.
  • NAD(+) supplementation in circadian mutant mice enhances oxygen consumption and restores protein deacetylation.
