So Imai and his colleagues wondered if NMN might, in effect, help restore normal blood sugar metabolism.

于是今井及其同事就开始好奇，NMN是否能够恢复糖尿病患者血糖的正常新陈代谢。

Can we treat Type 2 diabetes patients with NMN.

我们能用NMN治愈患有2型糖尿病的所有患者吗？

Using laboratory mice, they injected the animals with NMN in the hope of boosting the SIRT1 protein.

这些研究人员在实验鼠体内注入NMN，以期促进SIRT1蛋白质的合成。

So, does this NMN therapy amount to a cure for diabetes in the laboratory mice?

那么，NMN的疗法是就能治愈所有实验鼠的糖尿病呢？

SIRT1 depends on a molecule called NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and NAD, in turn, depends on the substance called NMN.

SIRT1的合成取决于一种叫NAD（辅酶）的分子，而NAD的合成则取决于一种叫NMN的物质。

Nonetheless, you can still find NMN on the open market.

尽管如此，你仍然可以在公开市场上找到 NMN。

NR and NMN are considered by many to be precursors to NAD.

许多人认为 NR 和 NMN 是 NAD 的前体。

We've talked about NR and NMN and NAD and the NAD pathway.

我们已经讨论了 NR 和 NMN 以及 NAD 和 NAD 途径。

I also and have separately taken an NMN supplement.

我还单独服用了 NMN 补充剂。

We found out that NMN, in some cases, almost completely normalized their problems in Type 2 diabetes, especially in the females.

研究表明，在一些情况下，NMN几乎可以让患有2型糖尿病的鼠恢复正常，尤其是母鼠。

NR and NMN every single day.

每天都有 NR 和 NMN。

There seems to be a significant sex difference in terms of the effect of NMN, and we still don't understand why.

似乎NMN在不同性别的对象身上有明显不同的效果，而我们当前还不清楚原因。

I do not take NR and NMN in order to increase my lifespan.

我服用 NR 和 NMN 并不是为了延长寿命。

But frankly, that is not why I take NR and NMN.

但坦白说，这不是我服用 NR 和 NMN 的原因。

I take NR and NMN in an effort to increase NAD.

我服用 NR 和 NMN 来努力增加 NAD。

Toward that end, the researchers have begun tests, again with laboratory mice, to investigate the result of long-term treatment with NMN.

为了验证上述问题，这些研究人员已再次开始对糖尿病小鼠的实验，以验证长期使用NMN对治疗的效果。

Actually, they are right now supporting the research we just talked about with NMN, so if you'd like to see this therapy reach human beings, you can help make that happen!

事实上，他们现在正在支持我们刚刚谈到的与 NMN 的研究，所以如果你想看到这种疗法应用于人类， 你可以帮助实现这一目标！
