Why Low NAD+ May Push Insulin-Making Cells Into Self-Inflicted Inflammation
In cells and animals, oxidative stress drained NAD+ inside the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, flipping a chemical switch that set off inflammation from within. Topping up NAD+ with NMN calmed that inflammation, and combining it with a second blocker worked better than either alone. The work spanned mice, pigs, and monkeys, so it's mechanism-level research, not a human result. For anyone curious about NAD+ boosters, this hints at why they get studied for metabolic health.
