Summary:
A University of Paris research study proves that in brain tissue (neuron cell) cultures, the production of the brain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, can be increased by adding NADH to the culture medium.
The study's results showed that adding NADH yields a six-fold increase in the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine. It was also found coenzyme NADH stimulates the production of many different brain neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine or noradrenaline, and serotonin.
Benefits of dopamine production:
NADH stimulates dopamine production. Medical science has proven that increased dopamine production has a positive effect on the following brain functions: thinking, cognitive functions (like memory & decision making), sex drive, mood, drive, strength, coordination, movement, mobility and much more.
Medical science has proven dopamine has a positive impact on growth hormone secretion. Growth hormone secretion is regarded as the key factor for the regeneration of cells and tissue. Increased dopamine production enhances the body's ability to repair or replace damage and wounded cells.
Dopamine has been proven to reduce prolactin secretion, which is the cause of appetite. The higher the dopamine levels in the blood, the lower the appetite. It is believed that higher or normalized dopamine blood levels reduces "binge" eating.
For our readers, who want it in scientific terms Dopamine's protection against brain damage:
scientifically speakingIn neuron cell cultures, dopamine production can be increased by adding NADH to the culture medium. In a dose dependent manner, NADH yields a six-fold increase production of dopamine. Furthermore, NADH stimulates tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the key enzyme for the production of dopamine in a dosage dependent manner of up to 70%.
The neurotransmitter dopamine undergoes what is called auto-oxidation. This process forms cytotoxic agents that may damage very sensitive areas in the basal brain. Research has found auto-oxidation occurs significantly more often in older individuals. A dopamine auto-oxidation inhibiting substance is useful in reducing damage to certain areas within the brain, by retarding cell death and tissue degeneration.
An elevated NADH level results in a significant elevation of pyridine dinucleotide levels in the brain. The brain has an active uptake mechanism for the accumulation of nicotinamide through the choroid plexus, indicating this is an important functional role for brain metabolism and oxidative defense. Taken all these factors into account one can conclude that NADH has a protective affect on the brain.
