Washington University Study Shows NMN Replenishes NAD+ in the Aging Brain

Post by jocko6889 »

In a recent study, scientists at Washington University developed a new method to accurately quantify NAD+ levels in the brain, showing that NMN restored NAD+ levels in three of four hypothalamic regions in brains of aging mice.  They also showed that injecting the enzyme NAMPT raised NAD+ levels in four subregions of the hypothalamus by nearly 50%.

"The current findings demonstrate that NMN and eNAMPT successfully restore NAD+ levels in the aged hypothalamus, highlighting that these treatments could improve aspects of brain aging, like poorer sleep quality, decreased physical function, and impaired cognition."
