for cyclic PET (hashed arrows): electrons are returned to the PET chain, either directly by Fd (B), or by NADPH, via the
NAD (P) H dehydrogenase complex (NDH)(C) generating a proton gradient with no net reductant.
NAD + level is essential
for reactions catalyzed by sirtuins and PARP activity, therefore by increasing its endogenous levels allow a more powerful effect against age - related diseases and in increasing lifespan.
Mammal sirtuins are
NAD + - dependent deacetylases that use
NAD + as cofactor
for catalyzed reactions to cleave acetyl groups from acetylated lysine residues of target proteins, generating nicotinamide (NAM) and 2 ′ - O - acetyl - ADP - ribose.
For instance, in the case that nicotinic acid or nicotamide are deficient in the cell,
NAD + is synthesized from alternative pathways such as L - tryptophan cycle.
