SIRT1-focused review exploring why boosting SIRT1/NAD+ therapies yield mixed results and proposing how to assess SIRT1’s functional responsiveness.
Key Takeaways
- Reviewers define SIRT1 functional reserve as the remaining operational flexibility of SIRT1 responses under defined stress.
- Total cellular NAD+ measurements can mislead because NAD+ pools and delivery to SIRT1 are spatially and functionally distinct.
- The same SIRT1 protein or activity level can produce different functional outputs depending on cell type, stress history, and senescence.
