Ab68 treatment raised levels of NAD+ and NMN and augmented Sirt1 and Sirt3 activity. For mouse experiment design, see Fig. 2A. Mice were sacrificed at day 21 and tissue and sera were harvested for analysis. (A) CD38 activity in muscle and its correlation with dermal thickness. A red dot represents an individual mouse from the Ab69 group, while a green dot represents an individual mouse from the Ab68 group. (B) NAD+ concentrations in muscle, and correlation with dermis thickness. (C) NAD+ levels show negative association with CD38 activity in muscle. (D) NMN serum concentrations and correlation with dermal thickness. (E) SIRT1 and SIRT3 activities in liver and spleen. Each dot represents the mean of triplicate determinations from each mouse. The data in bar graph presented as means ± SEM. (F) CHO-mCD38 cells, which over-express CD38, were incubated with Ab68 or Ab69, and SIRT1/3 activity and cellular NAD levels were determined. Bars represent the means ± SEM of × 2 determinations. Pearson’s correlation is used to find a linear relationship between two variables.
