Figure 2. Elevation of the PBMC NAD+ metabolome by oral NR in a 52 year-old male.

Figure 2

A healthy 52-year-old male ingested 1,000 mg NC Cl daily for 1 week. PBMCs were prepared from blood collected before the first dose (0 h), at seven time points after the first dose (0.6, 1, 1.4, 2.7, 4.1, 7.7 and 8.1 h), before second dose (23.8 h) and 24 h after the seventh dose (167.6 h). Concentrations (a, NMN; b, NAD+; c, NADP+; d, Nam; e, MeNam; f, Me2PY; g, Me4PY; h, NAAD; i, ADPR) are with respect to whole blood volumes. The data indicate that the NAD+ metabolome—with the exception of Nam and NAAD—is elevated by the 4.1 time point post ingestion. Whereas PBMC Nam was never elevated by NR, NAAD was elevated by the next time point. NAD+ and NAAD remained elevated 24 h after the last dose.
