Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plays an important role in cellular metabolism and it is important to study its correlation with other metabolites of the skeletal muscle. Phosphocreatine (PCr) present in abundant amount in the skeletal muscle facilitates the generation of ATP by conversion into creatine. 31P-MRS is a common technique used to study PCr recovery kinetics and its application has been shown in various diseases related to mitochondrial disorders. In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between PCr recovery kinetics, total NAD concentration, and age.
