Surgical healing requires collagen production, inflammation regulation, and cellular repair
But as we get older, NAD+ levels naturally decline leading to fatigue, brain fog, and slower recovery
For example, copper ions can lead to GSH depletion through two mechanisms: the direct downregulation via the redox reaction between Cu 2+ and intracellular GSH, and the activation of a Fenton-like reaction by generating Cu + to amplify oxidative stress ( in situ GSH in tumor triggered mCMSNs biodegradation and reduced Cu 2+ into Cu + for enhanced hydroxyl radical production, leading to a powerful inhibition effect on tumors (Liu et al., 2019)
