Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Low-dose (…) NAD+ precursors (nicotinic acid, nicotinamide … nicotinamide riboside) synergized with leucine to increase Sirt1 activity in adipocytes, hepatocytes, and muscle cells (30-100%, P < .01) and lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans (…%, P = .025) and to significantly regress atherosclerotic lesion size and macrophage infiltration in a mouse model of atherosclerosis.

Here we show that leucine exerts a direct effect on Sirt1 kinetics, reducing its Km for NAD+ by >50% and enabling low doses of resveratrol to further activate the enzyme (p = 0.012).

Disturbances in tryptophan-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway , seen in pellagrins whose staple is sorghum have been ascribed to an amino acid imbalance caused by excess intake of leucine.
