In this study, we used a mouse model of brain ischemia to test our hypothesis that NAD(+) decreases ischemic brain damage partially by preventing autophagy.
Adult male mice were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) for 90min, and NAD(+) was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) immediately after reperfusion started.
