  1. ADK is required for glucose homeostasis in mice.

    “ADK inhibition abolished these effects, confirming that NRH's direct entry into tissues and subsequent phosphorylation is essential for its full benefits.”

    NRH, a potent NAD⁺ enhancer, improves glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism in diet-induced obese mice through an active adenosine kinase pathway

  2. ADK is required for glucose homeostasis in mice.

    “suggesting an active ADK pathway is necessary for NRH-induced metabolic benefits.”
