aData are “mean ± SD”. Student t test was used for comparison over placebo

bChi-square t test was used for comparison over placebo

cData are “mean ± SD”. Mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) was used for comparison over placebo

dData are “mean ± SD”. Mann–Whitney U test was used for comparison over placebo

eDue to 1 participant from placebo and 900 mg groups did not fast, HOMA-IR was based on 19 participants for these two groups

fBlood NAD concentration data are the total concentration of “NAD+ + NADH” in serum

gStatistical significance was set at p < 0.05
