AI Technical Summary
Muscle wasting and renal dysfunction, particularly in chronic kidney disease, lead to significant morbidity and mortality due to irreversible kidney damage and muscle mass loss, with current treatments lacking effective solutions for slowing progression and improving muscle function.
Administration of trigonelline or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts to subjects, either enterally or parenterally, in the form of nutritional compositions or unit dosage forms, to improve lean muscle mass, reduce glomerular damage, and enhance muscle fiber size and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide levels.
Trigonelline effectively stabilizes renal function, maintains muscle mass, improves muscle endurance and efficiency, and reduces muscle atrophy, while slowing the progression of glomerular filtration rate and reducing hyalinization damage.
