NAD+ Repletion Rescues Female Fertility during Reproductive Aging
Summary: Reproductive aging in female mammals is an irreversible process associated with declining oocyte quality, which is the rate-limiting factor to fertility. Here, we show that this loss of oocyte quality with age accompanies declining levels of the

Repeat dose NRPT (nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene) increases NAD+ levels in humans safely and sustainably: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study [PDF]
NRPT is a combination of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) precursor vitamin found in milk, and pterostilbene (PT), a polyphenol found in blueberries.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide suppresses epileptogenesis at an early stage
The pathophysiologic mechanisms of epileptogenesis are poorly understood, and no effective therapy exists for suppressing epileptogenesis. Numerous reports have shown that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has neuroprotective effects, suggesting ...

The processes of the catalytic cycle of the cytochrome system associated with its activation by means of the enzyme Nicotinamide-β-adenine dinucleotide phosphate-H-ferrihemoprotein oxidoreductase [PDF]
The paper presents a theoretical study of the molecular mechanism of activation of the cytochrome P450 system by the enzyme Nicotinamide-β-adenine dinucleotide phosphate-H-ferrihemoprotein oxidoreductase in the catalytic cycle.

Cytosolic redox components regulate protein homeostasis via additional localisation in the mitochondrial intermembrane space [PDF]
Oxidative protein folding is confined to the bacterial periplasm, endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Maintaining a redox balance requires the presence of reductive pathways.

Abstract The two mitochondrial xylitol dehydrogenases of guinea pig liver have been studied with a view to determining their intramitochondrial locations. By procedures involving swelling, shrinking, and sonic oscillation of the particles, followed by centrifugation in a discontinuous sucrose gradient, preparations representing solubilized enzymes ...

Cloning, expression and characterization of alcohol dehydrogenases in the silkworm Bombyx mori
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the reversible oxidation of alcohols to corresponding aldehydes or ketones, by using either nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP ...
