Do various CLINICIANS need to monitor Sirtuin 1 gene expression and plasma Sirtuin 1 levels with relevance to various drug therapies in patients?
Specific genes that are involved in anti-aging and epigenetics are sensitive to nutritional regulation, oxidative stress and the development of insulin resistance that can result from changes in cellular chromatin, DNA methylation and histone modifications with relevance to the global chronic disease epidemic. The defective gene in the global chronic disease epidemic has now been linked to the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1. Nutritional regulation of Sirtuin 1 is critical to nuclear...

How sustainable are current water sources—including alternatives such as desalination, wastewater reuse, and groundwater—for supporting irrigated agriculture in semi-arid and arid regions?
Over 80% of water use in semi-arid and arid regions is allocated to agricultural irrigation, making the sustainability of water sources in these areas a critical concern. The key trade-offs and long-term implications of relying on alternative waters sources are not fully understood.
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
