Brain NAD Is Associated With ATP Energy Production and Membrane Phospholipid Turnover in Humans
The brain requires a large amount of energy, mostly derived from the metabolism of glucose, which decreases substantially with age and neurological diseases. While mounting evidence in model organisms illustrates the central role of brain nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) for maintaining energ...
