NAD+ Research
1. NAD+ and Cellular Energy Metabolism
NAD+ is an essential electron carrier in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, directly involved in ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation. Research models demonstrate that maintaining NAD+ levels supports mitochondrial efficiency.
2. NAD+ and Sirtuin Activation
Studies show NAD+ is a required substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1–7), a family of deacetylase enzymes linked to longevity pathways, inflammation regulation, and metabolic homeostasis.
3. NAD+ and DNA Repair
PARP enzymes, which are key mediators of DNA repair, consume NAD+ as a substrate. Research indicates that adequate NAD+ levels are essential for maintaining genomic stability.
Future NAD+ Research
Investigations continue into NAD+ decline during aging and its potential restoration in neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular research models, and metabolic syndrome studies.
