About
The focus of the present project is reduced NAD⁺ precursors in a translational setting. This encompasses two main aspects: (1) exploring the supplementation of NAD⁺ precursors to examine viability markers in human oocytes in vitro, and (2) studying the safety and efficacy of NAD⁺ precursors in animal models. Additionally, a third aspect aims to evaluate the occurrence of NAD⁺ precursors in extracts from natural sources.
