SIRT1 deacetylates and inhibits SREBP-1C activity in regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism.

TL;DR: It is reported that SREBP-1c, a key lipogenic activator, is an in vivo target of SIRT1, and acetylation levels were elevated in diet-induced obese mice, and hepatic overexpression of SIRC1 or treatment with resveratrol daily for 1 week decreased acetylated SRE BP- 1c levels with beneficial functional outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

FXR acetylation is normally dynamically regulated by p300 and SIRT1 but constitutively elevated in metabolic disease states

TL;DR: It is reported that FXR is a target of SIRT1, a deacetylase that mediates nutritional and hormonal modulation of hepatic metabolism that reduces acetylated FXR levels and may be a promising therapeutic agents for metabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 as a potential player in diabetes-associated atherosclerosis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the enzyme flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (Fmo3) to be a target of insulin and show that FMO3 is suppressed by insulin in vitro, increased in obese/insulin resistant male mice and increased in overweight/inulin resistant humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

A pathway involving farnesoid X receptor and small heterodimer partner positively regulates hepatic sirtuin 1 levels via MicroRNA-34a inhibition

TL;DR: It is reported that the nuclear bile acid receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) inhibits microRNA-34a (miR-34A) in the liver, which results in a positive regulation of SIRT1 levels, which may be useful for treating diseases of aging and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Regulation of Rat and Human CYP7A1 by the Nuclear Oxysterol Receptor Liver X Receptor-α

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in primary cultures of human hepatocytes, activation of LXRalpha has the opposite effect, repressing CYP7A1 expression, and that SHP is regulated directly by LXR alpha through a DNA response element that overlaps with the previously characterized bile acid response element.
