Article Synopsis
- NAD(+) and NADP(+) are essential for cellular metabolism and signaling, making supplementation with their precursors a potential health strategy.
- A study was conducted with 18 Wistar rats, divided into two groups, to analyze the impact of 21 days of nicotinamide riboside (an NAD(+) precursor) administration on exercise performance.
- Results indicated that rats receiving nicotinamide riboside performed 35% worse in swimming tests compared to the control group, suggesting that its administration may have negative effects on physical performance, contrary to earlier findings.
