Is NAD+ a Key Factor in Ovarian Aging and Dysfunction? Current Insights and Uncertainties: Review

Synopsis

Recent studies highlight NAD+ as a key player in energy metabolism, stress response, and aging, and boosting NAD+ may help treat female infertility. This review explores how NAD+ works in the ovaries, how it changes with reproductive disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian insufficiency, and how different NAD+ precursors might help. Evidence suggests the ovaries have their own unique NAD+ system, but many questions remain—such as how NAD+ and its precursors get into ovarian cells and which forms work best—making further research essential.
