Visfatin/Nampt and SIRT1: Roles in Postterm Delivery in Pregnancies Associated With Obesity

Visfatin is both a systemic adipocytokine and the cytosolic enzyme, nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (Nampt). This is a longevity protein, which extends the lifespan of human cells by activating sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). In this study, we sought a role for these proteins in obese pregnant women, who...
