Research has shown that declining levels of NAD + during aging cause pseudohypoxia, and that raising nuclear NAD + in old mice reverses pseudohypoxia and metabolic dysfunction, thus reversing the aging process. [5] It is expected that human NAD trials will begin in 2014. [6] Pseudohypoxia is a feature commonly noted in poorly-controlled ...
Niacin deficiency is a consequence of a diet low in both niacin and the amino acid tryptophan, a precursor for the vitamin. Low plasma tryptophan is a non-specific indicator, meaning it can have other causes. The signs and symptoms of niacin deficiency start to revert within days of oral supplementation with large amounts of the vitamin. [23] [24]
