Study snapshot

DesignSecondary or companion analysis of an existing human intervention
ModelHuman participants
Sample29 people with Parkinson’s disease
InterventionNR versus placebo in the NADPARK trial
DurationUp to 30 days
EndpointsDNA methylation; one-carbon metabolism measures

What the study showed, in plain terms

NR did not disrupt the assessed DNA methylation homeostasis in blood and muscle during short-term treatment.

Key findings

NR did not disrupt the assessed DNA methylation homeostasis in blood and muscle during short-term treatment.

What this study can and cannot tell us

A companion analysis of NADPARK, not an independent trial. It does not prove that all doses or long exposures are neutral for every one-carbon pathway.
