Vitamin B3 suppresses genetic driver of fatty liver disease

Vitamin B3 shows promise as a safe and cheap treatment for fatty liver disease by suppressing a key genetic driver. Researchers identified microRNA-93 as a driver of fatty liver and found niacin (vitamin B3) effectively suppresses it, potentially offering a new therapeutic approach. The study elucidated the molecular origin of the disease and suggests niacin's repurposing for combination therapies, with findings published in Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental.
