Retinal Ganglion Cell Bioenergetics: NAD⁺ Flux and the Foveal Mitochondrial Load
Abstract
A structured synthesis of the published literature on energy demand in the foveal cone and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axis, the role of the NAD⁺/NADH redox pair, and reported RGC protection following NAD⁺ repletion in optic-neuropathy and glaucoma models. Presented as a neutral reference survey; no human outcome or product effect is asserted.
Methods
- 01Scope : RGC and photoreceptor mitochondrial bioenergetics
- 02Sources : peer-reviewed primary studies and reviews (in-vitro, animal)
- 03Extraction : reported NAD⁺ dependence, sirtuin/PARP involvement
- 04Framing : observational synthesis, no meta-analysis of human endpoints
DISCLOSURE : This report presents anonymized in-silico and/or observational reference data. It does not establish a causal relationship between any catalogued material and any physiological outcome, and it is not a claim of safety, efficacy, or benefit.
