Abstract excerpt
Resveratrol has recently been widely reported to be an age-delaying and neuroprotective compound, and it appears to produce these benefits by activating silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1). However, the role that SIRT1 activation plays in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains unclear. In the present study, SIRT1 expression was found to be much lower in the...
