What does the research tell us?

A result in a cell or an animal does not establish the same result in people. Read the study design, the measurements, and the limitations before drawing a conclusion.

What remains uncertain?

The research question, the formulation, and the population all matter. This page is a starting point for understanding the literature, not a complete assessment of benefits or risks.

Rodent study · 2026Glucocorticoid excess disrupts NAD+ homeostasis in male and female miceHeaselgrave SR · Journal of Endocrinology

In male and female mice exposed to sustained corticosterone, this study reports tissue- and sex-specific changes in NAD+ and related metabolites in skeletal muscle and liver, and observes that nicotinamide riboside supplementation does not prevent the metabolic features associated with glucocorticoid excess in this rodent model.
