NAMPT serum levels are selectively elevated in acute infectious disease and in acute relapse of chronic inflammatory diseases in children. [PDF]
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) is an inflammatory adipocytokine shown to interact in immune modulation in chronic inflammatory diseases, acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, cancer and obesity in adulthood.

Nicotinic Acid Restriction Enhances the Therapeutic Benefit of NAMPT Inhibition in Small-Cell Lung Cancer Models. [PDF]
Dietary NA restriction converts the effect of NAMPT inhibition from cytostatic to cytotoxic in SCLC in vivo. ABSTRACT Small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options. We previously showed that nicotinic acid riboside (NAR) sustains NAD biosynthesis in vivo and compensates for NAMPT inhibition in SCLC models ...

Structural elements determining NAMPT activity [PDF]
Nikotinamidadenindinukleotid (NAD) er en hydridbærer involvert i redoksreaksjoner i metabolismen. I tillegg er NAD+ et substrat av enzymer som medierer vitale NAD+-avhengige prosesser, der dinukleotidet spaltes, og frigjør en nikotinamiddel (Nam ...

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

Regulation of NAMPT in human gingival fibroblasts and biopsies [PDF]
Adipokines, such as nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), are molecules, which are produced in adipose tissue. Recent studies suggest that NAMPT might also be produced in the tooth-supporting tissues, that is, periodontium, which also includes ...
