“…It has been hypothesized that CR, by increasing the levels of intracellular NAD, could stimulate SIRTUIN activity, and then extend the lifespan of organisms, (Lin et al, 2000; Longo et al, 2015; Lu and Lin, 2010). Recently, it was reported that a CR mimetic, 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG), can extend the replicative lifespan of Hs68 cells by increasing intracellular NAD and SIRT1 activity (Yang et al, 2011). However, several other mechanisms, independent of SIRTUINS, have also been implicated in the biological effects of CR, including inhibition of the IGF-1 pathway and modulation of the AMPK-mTOR pathway (Longo et al, 2015).…”
