Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or of its reduced form, NADH, as sodium channel modulators. The present invention also relates to the use of compositions containing NADor NADH to treat conditions associated with sodium channel current, such as arrhythmia. NADis found to increase sodium channel current, while NADH is found to decrease sodium channel current. Thus, conditions that are associated with decreased sodium channel current can be treated with NAD, while conditions that is associated with increased sodium channel current can be treated with NADH.
