COVID-19: NAD(+) deficiency may predispose the aged, obese and type2 diabetics to mortality through its effect on SIRT1 activity 2020-06-29 .txt text/plain 3229 205 44 This hypothesis suggests that a deficiency of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) may be the primary factor related to the SARS-Cov-2 disease spectrum and the risk for mortality, as subclinical nutritional deficiencies may be unmasked by any significant increase in oxidative stress. This hypothesis suggests that a deficiency of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) may be the primary factor related to the SARS-Cov-2 disease spectrum and the risk for mortality, as subclinical nutritional deficiencies may be unmasked by any significant increase in oxidative stress. Vulnerable patient groups would potentially be less likely or unable to ensure sufficient activation of SIRT1 due to low NAD + levels or associated nutritional deficiencies including Zn ++ , and as such contribute to an inability to control viral replication and reduce the uncontrolled expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. ./cache/cord-276564-o21ncldx.txt ./txt/cord-276564-o21ncldx.txt
