During oxidative stress, excess production of reactive oxygen species causes cell and tissue damage. Reductive stress is the counterpart of oxidative stress and occurs when cells build up too much of a molecule called NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + hydrogen), which plays a role in energy production. New research led by scientists Russell Goodman, MD, DPhil, Charandeep Singh, PhD, and Vamsi Mootha, MD, at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, indicates that reductive stress causes changes in the liver and circulation, resulting in poor metabolic traits that can contribute to obesity and fatty liver disease.
