Abstract excerpt
The coactivator PGC1α plays a role in the transcriptional regulation of energy metabolism and its deficiency has been implicated in abnormalities of myelination and oligodendrocyte differentiation in Huntington's disease (HD). In an effort to activate PGC1α in oligodendrocytes, we found that overexpression of SIRT1 or treatment with resveratrol (RSV) and SRT1720 upregulated PGC1α expression and increased...
