Impaired Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Biosynthesis in the Kidney of Chronic Kidney Disease

In this 2021 study published in Frontiers in Physiology, Liu et al. investigated the alterations in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) biosynthesis within the kidneys of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Utilizing both human kidney tissue samples and a 5/6 nephrectomy-induced CKD rat model, the researchers observed a significant reduction
