"The NAD⁺ requirement of the glycolytic and ketolytic pathways is illustrated in Figure 3. Glycolysis requires 4 NAD⁺ to make 2 Acetyl-CoA, while ketolysis consumes no NAD⁺ to make Acetyl-CoA from AcA, and only one NAD⁺ to convert BHB to AcA (6). This is to the best of our knowledge the first interventional study that shows that ketones can have a NAD⁺ sparing effect in healthy human brain."
