A novel mechanism has been defined for controlling per-oxisome proliferator-activated receptors γ (PPARγ) activity in response to thiazolidinedione (TZD) ligands, in which deacetylation of PPARγ by SirT1 remodels the transcriptional complex. This change favors expression of genes associated with increased energy use and insulin sensitization in white adipose tissue (WAT), and is required for a ...
