Metabolic Profiling of Alternative NAD Biosynthetic Routes in Mouse Tissues
Figure 5
Correlation between the physiological levels of products (NAD or NaAD) and substrates (NMN or NaMN) of the NMNAT-catalyzed reaction in different mouse tissues.
Average values ± standard errors are those depicted in Figure 4. The “AMIDATED” refers to grouped NAD and NMN levels in the indicated tissues; the group “DEAMIDATED” refers to levels of NaAD and NaMN (smaller circle) in the same tissues (not detailed). The linear relationship in different tissues between the steady-state levels of NAD and NaAD relative to NMN and NaMN, respectively, is highlighted. The “outlier” square symbol (▪) represents blood, where diverging values were observed compared to all other examined tissues.
