梅约诊所的研究人员确定了一种称为CD38酶,它可以减少衰老过程中的烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NAD),这一过程与年龄增长的代谢下降有关。研究发现小鼠和人类体内随着年龄的增加CD38也随之增加。该结果发表在《Cell Metabolism》。“随着年龄的增长,人们的新陈代谢和代谢功能都会有所下降。与年龄相关的代谢性疾病的发病率会增加,如肥胖,糖尿病和其它疾病等。” Researchers at Mayo Clinic have identified a process called CD38 enzyme that reduces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) during aging, a process that is linked to a diminished metabolism in old age. The study found that mice and humans with age increased CD38 also increased. The result is published in “Cell Metabolism.” “As we grow older, people’s metabolic and metabolic functions decline, and the incidence of age-related metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and other illnesses increases.” "
