Given that both diet composition and adiposity can each substantially impact the gut microflora in obese mice 24 , we conducted a secondary endpoint study using animals given the same series of diets to test the hypothesis that NNMTi treatment combined with LD, but not LD alone, shifts the cecal microbiome profile of obese animals to be similar to age-matched LD controls that were never given a high-fat diet
In naturally aged mouse models (1820 months old), daily oral administration of 5-amino-1mq capsules for 12 consecutive weeks significantly reduced NNMT activity and increased NAD+ levels in various tissues (liver, kidney, adipose tissue), along with markedly elevated expression of SIRT1 and SIRT3 proteins
The authors reported that in obese mice, daily AOD-9604 administration over 14 days produced significant reductions in body weight gain, decreases in adipose tissue mass, and increases in fat oxidation, with effect sizes comparable to those of full-length human growth hormone [1]
