aData are " mean ± SD" and normally distributed. Paired t test was used for comparison over baseline

bData are " mean ± SD" and are not normally distributed. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for comparison over baseline

cp1: comparison between day 30 and baseline, p2: comparison between day 60 and baseline. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05

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

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