Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase‐elevated NAD+ biosynthesis prevents muscle disuse atrophy by reversing mitochondrial dysfunction

Abstract Background It is well known that muscle disuse atrophy is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, which is implicated in reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), a rate‐limiting enzyme in NAD+ biosynthesis, may serve as a no...
