Where this comes from

Abstract

Sirtuins have emerged in recent years as critical regulators of metabolism, influencing numerous facets of energy and nutrient homeostasis. Here, we review recent advances on the role of this fascinating family of mammalian proteins and their well-orchestrated function in modulating mitochondrial activity.
