Elevated NNMT is linked to: Reduced NAD+ availability Slower mitochondrial function Increased fat storage efficiency Higher risk for insulin resistance By reducing NNMT activity, 5-Amino-1MQ allows the body to maintain higher NAD+ levels, which can support better mitochondrial performance, improved fat oxidation, and more balanced energy metabolism
Since NNMT is expressed in adipose, hepatic, and gut tissues 50,51,52 , and these tissues heavily cross-talk with the gut microbiome 53,54,55 , NNMTi treatment or its resulting weight loss effects 8,9 may modulate the microbiome
