Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

    Summary
    For NAD+ replenishment, oral supplementation with 1% L-tryptophan, an alternative precursor of NAD+, resulted in a recovery of body weight gain in high-HPRT/Uox-KO/Xor-KO mice.

    In this study, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

    Summary
    NAD+ replenishment by oral supplementation of NMN or tryptophan was complicated by the effect of gut microbiota and failed to rescue high-HPRT/Xor-KO mice.

    In this study, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
