Secrets of Liver Regeneration: The Role of NAD+
The intricate dance of NAD+ in liver regeneration takes center stage as researchers uncover its pivotal role in cellular energy, lipid metabolism, and overall liver health. NAD+, a co-factor crucial for glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration, experiences a temporary dip during early liver regeneration. Supplementing NAD precursors boosts the replication speed of liver cells and diminishes characteristics of liver fat degeneration. This newfound understanding, gleaned from mouse liver resection studies, opens avenues for regenerative medicine. Additionally, NMN supplementation emerges as a potential remedy for fatty liver, enhancing glucose processing and reducing oxidative stress. Enzymes like NAMPT and SIRT1 play regulatory roles in preventing fat accumulation and insulin resistance. Elevating NAD+ levels proves indispensable for sustaining organ function, preventing obesity-related issues, and fostering liver regeneration—a breakthrough with far-reaching health implications.
