Does insulin therapy activate the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 that is critical for the prevention of insulin iresistance?

 

The anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 is important to the prevention of accelerated aging and diabetes. Sirtuin 1 activators are critical to the treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Sirtuin 1 inhibitors cause insulin resistance and reduce plasma Sirtuin 1 levels. Insulin therapy is critical to the treatment of diabetes and plasma Sirtuin 1 levels need to be measured with relevance to the treatment and prevention of insulin resistance.

Insulin therapy itself does not directly activate Sirtuin 1. Insulin therapy may reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, preserving SIRT1 function. Chronic exogenous insulin might lead to hyperinsulinemia suppressing SIRT1 activity.
