Trigonelline is a natural alkaloid found in plants and animals, including humans.
“However, patients with sarcopenia had lower circulating concentrations of trigonelline, a natural alkaloid found in plants4 and animals, including in humans29,30 (Fig. 1a).”

Its synthesis from NA via methylation confers protective and adaptive functions, without an established reutilization as a Preiss-Handler substrate.

Trigonelline is particularly abundant in plant-derived food products, such as coffee beans and fenugreek seeds, which have been reported to modulate endogenous trigonelline levels in humans.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
