Age-related decline in two sirtuin enzymes alters mitochondrial dynamics, weakens cardiac contractions

by Anne Delotto Baier,  University of South Florida Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Sirtuins are a family of anti-aging proteins that help regulate cellular lifespan, metabolism, and resistance to stress. The potential protective effect of these sirtuin enzymes in age-related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, remains an area of intense investigation. Now, a new preclinical study led by...
