Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide: NAD+ Precursors May Preserve Vision by Targeting RGC Axon Deterioration
A study offers a groundbreaking view on glaucoma, shifting focus from intraocular pressure to RGC axon degeneration. It reveals how structural vulnerabilities in the eye contribute significantly to this disease. Highlighting the lamina cribrosa’s role, the research underscores a critical need for reevaluating glaucoma’s underlying causes. It opens new avenues for treatment, emphasizing the potential …

NAD+ Supplement Benefits Include Reducing Neuronal Damage and Improving Memory in Diabetic Rats with Hypoglycemia
NMN emerges as a protective agent against neuronal damage caused by hypoglycemia, a serious complication of insulin therapy in diabetes. The study conducted by Sakurai et al. reveals that administering NMN can counteract the neuronal damage and cognitive impairment typically induced by drops in blood glucose levels. The researchers observed reduced neuronal death by supplementing …

What is NAD ?
The History of NAD+ Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is essential for human life due to its versatile role in cellular energy production and various biological processes. Recently, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor to NAD+, has gained significant attention in biological research. Discovery and Early Research In 1906, William John Young and Arthur Harden discovered a …
