Beta-lapachone, a modulator of NAD metabolism, prevents health declines in aged mice.

Beta-lapachone, a modulator of NAD metabolism, prevents health declines in aged mice.

NADH-quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) modulates cellular NAD(+)/NADH ratio which has been associated with the aging and anti-aging mechanisms of calorie restriction (CR). Here, we demonstrate that the facilitation of NQO1 activity by feeding β-lapachone (βL), an exogenous NQO1 co-substrate, prevented...
