Interaction Information:

Comment The overexpression of Sirt1 appears to protect transgenic mice from high-fat diet-induced hepatic inflammation through decreasing the NF-kappaB-mediated induction of inflammatory cytokines, as well as by the activation of antioxidant proteins, possibly mediated by PGC1alpha.
