NAD+
-
NAD+ plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism by facilitating the transfer of electrons in redox reactions. It serves as a coenzyme for enzymes involved in energy production (glycolysis, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation) and is vital for ATP generation. NAD+ also activates sirtuins, which regulate gene expression and promote longevity. Additionally, it supports DNA repair by activating PARP enzymes and reduces oxidative stress by modulating antioxidant responses.
