On the heels of two previously published preclinical studies investigating the effect of viral infection on NAD+ levels, new clinical research in 93 mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infected patients is now available on the open access preprint publication server medRxiv.org.
Read MoreNew 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+).
Read MoreThe latest research suggests NAD+ may play a central role in regulating inflammation for an effective—but targeted—immune response to dangerous pathogens such as the Coronavirus.
Read MoreJust like our planet is mustering up the resources to fight the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, so too do our cells need energy to support cellular repair. NAD+ may hold the key to supporting cellular resilience in the face of immune stress, like viral infections.
