Combining human clinical trial research, cellular analysis, and mouse studies, researchers publishing in the Nature journal Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy have discovered a relationship between NAD+, hypertension, and the immune signal CD38. A vital component in metabolic function Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD): Benefits and ResearchNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all...
Two running mice
Scientists from Mayo Clinic have significantly extended lifespan in male mice by inhibiting the enzyme CD38, which lowers NAD levels [1]. The age-related decline of nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD) has been associated with various metabolic abnormalities, age-related diseases, and fitness loss. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD): Benefits and ResearchNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in...
Chamomile is a great source of Apigenin.
This active ingredient in chamomile tea has traditionally been used to ease anxiety and reduce stress. We investigate if the scientific studies support this traditional use and how it relates to aging. What is apigenin? Apigenin is a very common and widely distributed flavonoid in the plant kingdom. Flavonoids are a class of naturally occurring...
Complicated machinery
Aging is a multifactorial and complex process; indeed, it is probably the most complex disorder known. It is made up of a combination of dozens of malfunctions locked together in an accelerating spiral of decline. Despite this undeniable complexity, which is captured to some extent by grouping the many age-related dysfunctions into nine categories often...
CD38 protein image
We recently explored why NAD+ declines during aging, and today, we want to spotlight a new review that takes a deep dive into CD38, one of the reasons for this decline [1]. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD): Benefits and ResearchNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It is a dinucleotide, which...
Inflamed knee
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in all living cells and is essential for cells to work; without it, life would be impossible. The connection between aging and the accompanying loss of NAD+ has been the subject of much research, and a new study sheds light on why this happens. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide...
