SIRT1 deacetylase in aging‐induced neuromuscular degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
8 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract SIRT1 is an NAD + ‐dependent deacetylase that functions in a variety of cells and tissues to mitigate age‐associated diseases. However, it remains unknown if SIRT1 also acts to prevent pathological changes that accrue in motor neurons during aging and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this study, we show that SIRT1 expression decreases in the spinal cord of wild‐type mice during normal aging. Using...
