This hypothesis is supported by elevations in brain HGF levels measured in several degenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, spinal cord injury and AD [78-82]

Treated mice showed decreased susceptibility to muscle damage, improved muscle strength, reduced PARP activity, increased NAD + levels, and elevated mitochondrial function 254 , thus suggesting a potential therapeutic benefit of NR supplementation in DMD
This way, it mirrors the original peptide image to maintain a similar 3D structure and binding properties, while also offering higher resistance to normal proteolytic enzymes, thereby extending its stability and half-life
