limiting intracellular enzyme for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) synthesis starting from nicotinamide [1]. The plasma Nampt levels are reported to have correlation with obesity and obese related metabolic disease, such as Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular diseases [2] and hyperlipidemia [3] due to association with lipoprotein and cholesterol. Therefore, sensitive detectio...
