“…However, insufficient SIRT1 activity may have a detrimental affect upon vascular cell survival (23, 78, 79) and block protection against cardiovascular disease (53, 80–82). Overall, SIRT1 controls multiple cellular functions that are involved with modulation of vascular survival and senescence (18, 83, 84), control of vascular tone through the transient receptor potential cation channel A1 (TRPA1) (85), development of atherosclerosis (80, 86–89), extension of lifespan (42, 73, 90, 91), alterations in cellular metabolism (10, 31, 57, 92–96), enhancement of neuronal survival and cognition (46, 59, 92, 97), and protection against oxidative stress (58, 81, 94, 98–103). …”
