Nicotinamide riboside supplementation ameliorates ovarian dysfunction in a PCOS mouse model by Zhenye Zhu, Min Lei, Ruizhi Guo, Yining Xu, Yanqing Zhao, Chenlu Wei, Qingling Yang, Yingpu Sun

“…Our previous study revealed that reduced levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) of women with PCOS resulted in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial dysfunction. However, it is still uncertain whether increasing NAD+ levels in the ovaries could improve ovarian function in PCOS. …”

Variability of Scots pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.) plus trees in the Middle and Upper Volga Region with the use of ISSR markers by O. V. Sheikina, E. M. Romanov

“…One of the serious issues in forest breeding is how to reduce the variability level in breeding populations of forest tree species that is a set of selected plus trees. The problem is that variability is jeopardized by the risk of losing the genetic diversity of future artificial forests, as well as emerging inbreeding depression in the seed plus trees progeny. …”
