The role of SIRT1 in skeletal muscle function and repair of older mice

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2019
Background Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a NAD+ sensitive deacetylase that has been linked to longevity and has been suggested to confer beneficial effects that counter aging‐associated deterioration. Muscle repair is dependent upon satellite cell function, which
