Exogenous NAD+ restores NAD+ levels in senescent BMSCs. BMSCs were induced by 10 g/L of D-gal for 48 h and then were treated by different concentrations of exogenous NAD+ for another 48 h. (a) A NAD+/NADH content colorimetric kit was used to detect the changes of NAD+ levels in senescent BMSCs. (b) Changes of NAD+/NADH in senescent BMSCs determined by the NAD+/NADH content colorimetric kit. The data are expressed as means ± standard deviation. n = 3; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. BMSCs: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells; D-gal: D-galactose; NAD+: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
