Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin (SIRT)1 is thought to be a key regulator of skeletal muscle metabolism. However, its precise role in the regulation of insulin sensitivity is unclear. Accordingly, we sought to determine the effect of skeletal muscle-specific overexpression of SIRT1 on skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity and whole-body energy metabolism. METHODS: At 10 weeks of...
