This study aimed to determine whether nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) can alleviate degenerative RCT and prevent postoperative retears by reversing mitochondrial dysfunction in aged mice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We assigned 32 young (4 months) and 64 aged (19 to 20 months) male wild-type C57BL\/6 mice to young, aged, and aged NAMPT-treated (ANAMPT) groups (n = 32 each). Mice in the ANAMPT group underwent subacromial injection with NAMPT-loaded fibrin gel, whereas the other 2 groups were injected with fibrin gel alone. Histological staining and each of the biomechanical and mitochondrial function tests were performed using 8 samples each.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Histological staining in the aged group revealed decreased cellularity, disrupted fiber architecture, and reduced type-I collagen content inside tendon tissues proximal to the enthesis, demonstrating the spontaneous development of age-related degenerative RCT. Compared with the young group, the maximum tendon-to-bone failure load (4.22 \u00b1 0.81 versus 5.52 \u00b1 0.81 N, p = 0.0106) and maximum suture cut-through force (0.83 \u00b1 0.08 versus 1.07 \u00b1 0.10 N, p = 0.0006) of degenerated tendon tissues in the aged group were significantly lower. Significantly reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD\n                      <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) levels, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, and citrate synthase activity indicated that mitochondrial dysfunction was closely related to the development of the degenerative RCT. Furthermore, NAMPT-improved mitochondrial function alleviated age-induced degenerative histological changes and increased the maximum failure load (5.32 \u00b1 0.68 N, p = 0.0375) and maximum suture cut-through force (0.99 \u00b1 0.13 N, p = 0.0285).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Spontaneously developed degenerative RCT in aged mice mimicked the clinical situation in elderly patients.
