NNMT inhibition with 5-Amino-1MQ reduced white adipose tissue mass by ~35% in diet-induced obese mouse models without suppressing food intake, suggesting energy expenditure modulation
UCP1 expression is not sufficient proof of thermogenesis
ATGL, HSL, MGL, lipid-droplet proteins, coactivators, inhibitory proteins, intracellular localization, and substrate accessibility all influence the measured rate of lipid mobilization
As understanding of metabolic regulation continues to evolve, 5-Amino-1MQ remains an important investigational compound for studying the biological role of NNMT and its potential influence on cellular metabolism, body composition, and energy homeostasis
In the stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes unbind vitamin B12 into its free form
Given that, the sensible position is to treat the drug-interaction contraindications as firm, particularly antidepressants and stimulants, while accepting that for someone on no such medications the risk is likely small but genuinely unquantified
