Skeletal muscle-specific overexpression of SIRT1 does not enhance whole-body energy expenditure or insulin sensitivity in young mice
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, w...
