An autism model developed in male mice supplemented with nicotinamide riboside (NR) was found to have restored levels of the neurotransmitter oxytocin and improved social behavior.
New preclinical research shared on scientific publishing website bioRxiv.org has demonstrated that increasing NAD+ levels can boost the activity of protective enzymes called PARPs and reduce coronavirus replication in a mouse cell model.
Innate immunity is the body’s first line of defense against infection which is why this powerful security system needs all the fuel it can get. One cellular energy carrier critical to this process is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+).

AboutNAD is an educational resource created by scientists to explore the cutting-edge research behind the molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and its vital role in cellular energy. Specifically, we are focused on the recent surge of interest and research surrounding the innovative NAD precursor called nicotinamide riboside (NR). Our mission is to provide a balanced look at NAD’s role in human health by providing the latest educational and scientifically proven content to the public.
Raising NAD+ levels with nicotinamide riboside has been shown, in animal models, to reduce pain resulting from the cancer treating drug therapy paclitaxel. When administered to rodents in combination with paclitaxel, NR also helped to further decrease tumor growth, suggesting NR may enhance the drug’s tumor-suppressing effects.
