Objective: Our aim was to determine whether expressions of SIRTs and NAD+‚ biosynthesis genes are affected by acquired obesity and how possible alterations are connected with metabolic dys-function while controlling for genetic and familial factors. Design and Participants: We studied a cross-sectional sample of 40 healthy pairs of monozygotic...
