Small molecule activators of SIRT1 replicate signaling pathways triggered by calorie restriction in vivo
10 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calorie restriction (CR) produces a number of health benefits and ameliorates diseases of aging such as type 2 diabetes. The components of the pathways downstream of CR may provide intervention points for developing therapeutics for treating diseases of aging. The NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT1 has been implicated as one of the key downstream regulators of CR in yeast, rodents, and humans....
