Supplementation with Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) increases SIRT1, PGC-1α, and leptin expression while reducing pro-fibrotic collagens in a SIRT1-dependent manner.

NMN supplementation in cell models boosts metabolic health markers like leptin and mitochondrial function via SIRT1. However, translating the 1 mM cell culture dose to humans is not direct, and clinical efficacy remains to be fully established.

Supplementing preadipocytes with the NAD+ booster nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) during differentiation increased expression levels of leptin, SIRT1, and PGC-1α and its transcriptional targets, and reduced levels of pro-fibrotic collagens (Col6A1 and Col6A3) in a SIRT1-dependent manner.
