Hypothalamic Sirt1 in aging
Japanese proverb saying, " After rain falls, the ground hardens. " This proverb illustrates what has happened to the research field on the importance of sirtuins in the regulation of aging and longevity. The Sir2 (silent information regulator 2) family of protein deacylases, now called sirtuins, have been shown to regulate aging and longevity in diverse model organisms including yeast, worms an...
متن کاملThe Effect of Peripheral Injection of Leptin on Biomarkers of Aging in Calorie Restricted Rats
Background and Objectives: Calorie restriction (CR) is one of the proven methods of extending lifespan and slowing aging. Leptin is a nutritionally regulated adipokine that has been proposed as a possible key signal in the adaptive responses relevant to CR. Under CR, plasma leptin levels decrease, thus it was hypothesized that leptin administration may counteract CR-induced weight loss. Therefo...
متن کاملDoes hypothalamic SIRT1 regulate aging?
In virtually all organisms, life expectancy is profoundly affected by caloric intake. For example, dietary restriction (DR; a feeding regimen of fewer calories compared to the ad libitum level without causing malnutrition) has been shown to lengthen, whereas hypercaloric (HC) diet feeding to shorten, lifespan. Recent findings in invertebrates indicate that specialized groups of cells (e.g.: met...
متن کاملThe hypothalamic arcuate nucleus and the control of peripheral substrates.
The arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus is particularly regarded as a critical platform that integrates circulating signals of hunger and satiety reflecting energy stores and nutrient availability. Among ARC neurons, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and agouti-related protein and neuropeptide Y (NPY/AgRP neurons) are considered as two opposing branches of the melanocortin signaling pathway. In...
متن کاملChanges of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis in aging
Study of healthy aging of the hypothalamic-pituitarythyroid axis is difficult, since aging is accompanied by the increased frequency of various thyroid diseases and of extrathyroidal disease, as well as by the increased intake of medicines modulating the function of this axis. Nevertheless, researchers managed to determine that in the paraventricular nucleus of aged humans the number of neurons...
