NAD+ and OT levels were determined in the cortex and hypothalamus or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of wild-type (BL6) and CD157KO mice treated with NR. (a,b) NR gavage at 3 mg/mouse for 12 days significantly elevated NAD+ concentrations in mice of both genotypes in the cortex (two-way ANOVA; the effect of treatment (F1,27 = 28.33, P < 0.0001) and the effect of genotype (F1,27 = 4.74, P = 0.0384) and the hypothalamus (two-way ANOVA; the effect of treatment (F1,42 = 36.58, P < 0.0001). Bonferroni’s post hoc comparison shows a significant difference between placebo and NR in CD157KO mice (P < 0.05)), comparing saline treatment (PL). (c) The identical treatment of NR significantly increased OT concentrations in the CSF of CD157KO mice (Two-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of interaction between treatment and genotypes (F1,60 = 7.341, P = 0.0088). Bonferroni’s post hoc comparison shows a significant difference between placebo and NR in CD157KO mice (P < 0.05). (d) OT concentrations in the hypothalamus in wild-type and CD157KO mice showed no significant difference after treatment with NR (Two-way ANOVA showed the only effect of genotype (F1,36 = 12.59, P = 0.0011). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001, respectively.
