Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient control of glucose homeostasis through a complex of PGC-1alpha and SIRT1.

TL;DR: It is shown that the Sir2 homologue, SIRT1 controls the gluconeogenic/glycolytic pathways in liver in response to fasting signals through the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1α, and this findings have strong implications for the basic pathways of energy homeostasis, diabetes and lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

mTOR controls mitochondrial oxidative function through a YY1–PGC-1α transcriptional complex

TL;DR: A mechanism by which a nutrient sensor (mTOR) balances energy metabolism by means of the transcriptional control of mitochondrial oxidative function is identified, which has important implications for the understanding of how these pathways might be altered in metabolic diseases and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic control of muscle mitochondrial function and fatty acid oxidation through SIRT1/PGC‐1α

TL;DR: SIRT1 is identified as a functional regulator of PGC‐1α that induces a metabolic gene transcription program of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in response to low glucose concentrations and has implications for understanding selective nutrient adaptation and how it might impact lifespan or metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
