Abstract excerpt
Aims: A longevity gene, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) have common activators such as caloric restriction, oxidative stress, and exercise. The objective of this study is to characterize the role of cardiomyocyte SIRT1 in age-related impaired ischemic AMPK activation and increased susceptibility to ischemic insults. Methods and results: Mice were subjected to ligation of...
