1. LKB1–SIRT1–eNAMPT Axis and Age-Related Muscle Function
A 2026 Cell Metabolism study reported that S1PC activated the LKB1–SIRT1 pathway in adipose tissue and promoted eNAMPT-containing extracellular-vesicle secretion. Long-term S1PC improved frailty and muscle force in aged mice. A small human study showed an increase in circulating eNAMPT in participants maintaining healthy adipose mass, but did not establish human muscle-function efficacy.
