NAD+ is a vital coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. It plays a central role in redox reactions and cellular repair systems.
Biological Functions
- ATP energy production
- DNA repair via PARP enzymes
- Regulation of sirtuin activity
- Oxidative stress response
NAD+ Decline with Age
NAD+ levels naturally decrease due to:
- Increased DNA damage
- Higher CD38 enzyme activity
- Reduced biosynthesis efficiency
This decline is associated with reduced cellular energy output.
NAD+ in Longevity Research
NAD+ is widely studied in longevity science due to its role in:
- Mitochondrial function
- Cellular aging pathways
- Metabolic efficiency
