The researchers proposed that the compounds effects on muscle function operate through boosting NAD+ levels by inhibiting NNMTs consumption of nicotinamide, more substrate is available for NAD+ synthesis via the salvage pathway, supporting mitochondrial function and energy metabolism in aged skeletal muscle
However, no controlled human trial has compared oral versus injectable AOD-9604 at equivalent systemic doses
