5. this study shows that serum visfatin levels, and white adipose tissue and hepatic visfatin mRNA levels of both male and female rats were increased by LPS injection PMID: 27083000
6. Visfatin was expressed in the rats' retinas, mainly in the retinal nerve fibre layer, inner plexiform layer and outer plexiform layer. As the development of diabetes mellitus course, its expression was gradually increased. PMID: 26694625

8. Report retinal toxicity of NAMPT inhibitors. PMID: 25505128
9. visfatin could participate in the inflammatory process in rat spleen by modulating the macrophages and inflammatory cytokines. PMID: 25358398
10. Visfatin induced the expression of alphaSMA in cultureactivated rat HSC, which was accompanied by a significant increase in collagen types I and III. PMID: 25351242
11. These data are the first to show that Nampt inhibits myometrial contractility and does so more potently than leptin. PMID: 25645057
12. Central visfatin improved glucose homeostasis by increasing insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity at euglycemia through the hypothalamus in diabetic rats. PMID: 24332931
13. role in myocardial inflammation during endotoxemia PMID: 23831038
14. Data indicate that nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) mRNA and protein were increased in the kidneys with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. PMID: 24287278
15. CR-induced beneficial effects in oxidative stress, mitochondrial biogenesis, and metabolic adaptation require NAMPT. PMID: 23946338
16. visfatin plays a critical role in cardioprotection by suppressing myocardial apoptosis via AMPK activation PMID: 23065734
17. Nampt promotes neuronal survival through inducing autophagy. PMID: 22113203
18. Visfatin expression was increased mainly through the AT1-R-JAK/STAT pathway in the process of Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. PMID: 21841463
19. The expression of visfatin is closely associated with the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in FFA-induced inflammation and is significantly decreased by NF-kappaB inhibition in HepG2 cells. PMID: 21664630
20. Our findings reveal that Nampt protects against ischemic stroke through rescuing neurons from death via the SIRT1-dependent AMPK pathway and indicate that Nampt is a new therapeutic target for stroke. PMID: 21246601
21. results of the present study demonstrate that serum visfatin levels in Lyon hypertensive rats are elevated and are associated with lipid metabolic abnormalities PMID: 20456420
22. No differences of serum visfatin levels were observed between spontaneously hypertensive rats and Wistar-Kyoto rats. Serum visfatin levels were significantly correlated to weights of skeletal muscle. PMID: 20658215
23. Visfatin exhibits important autocrine effects on sensitivity of liver cells to insulin action possibly through its effects on NAD biosynthesis. PMID: 19929131
24. Exercise training induced SIRT1 activity due to the positive effect of exercise on the activity of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and thereby the production of sirtuin-fueling NAD(+). PMID: 19913571
25. PBEF is not a cytokine-like secreted protein but an intracellular protein associated with the cell cycle PMID: 12782293
26. relative visfatin gene expression is not associated with the metabolic syndrome in WOKW rats [Pbef, also called visfatin] PMID: 15922301
27. Results describe the crystal structure of visfatin in three different forms: apo and in complex with either nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) or the nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase inhibitor FK-866. PMID: 16901503
28. During fasting, increased Nampt provides protection against cell death and requires an intact mitochondrial NAD(+) salvage pathway as well as the mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent deacetylases SIRT3 and SIRT4. PMID: 17889652
29. Visfatin is produced in mesangial cells, which are a novel target for visfatin, and play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. PMID: 18768589
30. improves insulin sensitivity and exerts its hypocholesterolemic effects at least partially through upregulation of the tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 protein and the mRNA levels of PPARgamma and SREBP-2 PMID: 19263259
31. The crystal structure of rat visfatin in complex with IS001, is desribed. PMID: 19533035
32. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase regulates cell survival through NAD+ synthesis in cardiac myocytes. PMID: 19661458
