Constant light exposure aggravates POMC-mediated muscle wasting associated with hypothalamic alteration of circadian clock and SIRT1 in endotoxemia rats.
In the present study, the potential effects of metformin on endotoxemia-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and their relationship with the representative metabolic regulator, including AMPK, sirtuin 1 and mTOR, were investigated.
This study suggests that selective inhibition of SIRT1 by EX-527 might alleviate endotoxemia-associated acute lung injury partially via suppression of mTOR, which implies that SIRT1 selective inhibitors might have potential value for the pharmacological intervention of inflammatory lung injury.
