Preservation of Insulin and Glucose Homeostasis Unlike growth hormone, which can cause insulin resistance and elevated blood glucose (diabetogenic effects), AOD-9604 has demonstrated no negative effects on carbohydrate metabolism
NNMT is a cytosolic enzyme that regulates energy balance in adipose tissue
Medical Conditions, Surgeries, and Medications Lack of intrinsic factor (a protein made in the stomach thats needed for B12 absorption) - this condition is called pernicious anemia Thyroid disease HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) Autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes, where the immune system in the body attacks its own tissues Gastric bypass surgery (weight loss surgery) Chronic gastritis surgery Certain medications like heartburn drugs (proton pump inhibitors) which reduce stomach acid production Who Is At Risk of Vitamin B12 Deficiency
NAD+ PRECURSORS (NMN, NR, NA) Both approaches enhance NAD+-dependent metabolism but through distinct mechanisms: NAD+ precursors (NMN, NR): Provide substrate for NAD+ synthesis, increasing NAD+ production 5-Amino-1MQ: Inhibits NAD+ depletion by suppressing NNMT, preserving existing NAD+ These approaches are mechanistically complementary
