In mice models, NR can increase NAD + metabolism and thereby improve glucose tolerance, reduce weight gain, and exhibit neuroprotective effects against diabetic neuropathy and liver steatosis [41] . NAD + precursor supplementation also has the potential to protect against adverse cardiac remodeling by additional mechanisms of activating SIRTs (Table 2 ) and maintaining Ca 2+ homeostasis [67] . Via SIRT3 activation, a NR-induced increase in NAD + levels can have additional beneficial and possible therapeutic effects. CR life-prolonging effects may partly be mediated via increased sirtuin function, while the requirement of NAD + for their activity suggests a possible connection between aging and metabolism. ./cache/cord-299731-sis9952k.txt ./txt/cord-299731-sis9952k.txt
