In preclinical research, blocking NNMT raised NAD+ inside fat cells, increased their metabolic activity, and reduced fat-cell size notably without changes to diet
This element is stored in the body mainly in the kidneys, spleen and testicles, as well as in soft tissues, bones and blood, where it can bind to proteins, mainly transferrin
Studies measuring swelling cytokines, immune cell infiltration, or swelling gene expression may show reductions within this timeframe
At normal body temperature, the half-life of the enzyme is shorter than normal, leading to a decrease in fatty acid beta-oxidation and ATP generation
