  1. CLP: cecal ligation and puncture; D0: treatment commenced on the day of infecton; D-Gal: D-galactosamine; HBV: hepatitis B virus; KSHV: Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus; LPS: lipopolysaccharide (originating from Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium or Salmonella typhosa); MPO: myeloperoxidase; endogenous: animals with existing condition at the time of study; NAD+ : nicotinamide adenine dinucleotde; NAM: nicotinamide; NMN: nicotinamide mononucleotide; NR: nicotinamide riboside; Pre: treatment commenced before infection; Post: treatment commenced after infection; SEB: Staphylococcal enterotoxin B; UC: unclear; UK: United Kingdom; US: United States . *Categories of measures included the following parameters: cytokines – serum or tissue levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, or IL-1-beta; NAD metabolites – blood or tissue niacin, NAD+, NAM, NMN, NR levels; microbial clearance – blood or tissue levels of microbes or microbial products; organ injury – histologic (e.g., lung injury score), organ permeability (e.g., lung wet to dry weight raos) or organ functional measures including creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and/or alanine or aspartate aminotransferases; oxidants – measures of malondialdehyde, reactive oxygen species, protein carbonyl; antioxidants – measures of superoxide dismutase, catalase and/or glutathione; MPO – myeloperoxidase as a measure of neutrophil activation.
