Senescent cells have been demonstrated to have lower cellular NAD + levels and are involved in the development of various age-related diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Sodium iodate (NaIO 3 ) has been primarily used as an oxidant to establish a model of dry AMD.


Conclusion: Our results indicate that RPE senescence induced by NaIO3 acquired several key features of AMD. More importantly, NMN may potentially be used to treat RPE senescence and senescence-associated pre-AMD changes by restoring the NAD levels in cells and tissues.
