Description
Sirtuin deacetylases and forkhead box class O (FOXO) transcription factors are central regulators of cell survival, cell cycle and cellular resistance to stress in response to signals from hormones, growth factors and oxidative stress. FOXO activity is modulated by the sirtuins, which function in a NAD+-dependent manner. Sirtuin activity, on the other hand is subject to inhibition by a natural compound nicotinamide (NAM). This study aims to investigate the effects of NAM on the
