Current studies on the age-related development of metabolic dysfunction and frailty are each day in more evidence. It is known, as aging progresses, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD<sup>+</sup>) levels decrease in an expected physiological process. Recent studies have shown that a reduction in NAD<sup>+</sup> is a key factor for the development of age-associated metabolic decline. Increased NAD<sup>+</sup> levels <i>in vivo</i> results in activation of pro-longevity and health span-related ...[more]
