NAD+ and sirtuins in aging and disease

Highlights • NAD+ plays a key role in regulating metabolism and circadian rhythm through sirtuins. • NAD+ becomes limiting during aging, affecting sirtuins’ activities. • NAD+ decline is likely to be due to a NAD+ biosynthesis defect and increased depletion. • Supplementing key NAD+ intermediates ca...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • NAD+ plays a key role in regulating metabolism and circadian rhythm through sirtuins. • NAD+ becomes limiting during aging, affecting sirtuins’ activities. • NAD+ decline is likely to be due to a NAD+ biosynthesis defect and increased depletion. • Supplementing key NAD+ intermediates can restore NAD+ levels and ameliorate age-associated pathophysiologies.
