Abstract

More than 70 years after its initial report, caloric restriction stands strong as the most consistent non-pharmacological intervention increasing lifespan and protecting against metabolic disease. Among the different mechanisms by which caloric restriction might act, Sir2/SIRT1 (Silent information regulator 2/Silent information regulator T1) has been the focus of much attention because of its ability to integrate sensing of the metabolic status with adaptive transcriptional outputs. This review focuses on gathered evidence suggesting that Sir2/SIRT1 is a key mediator of the beneficial effects of caloric restriction and addresses the main questions that still need to be answered to consolidate this hypothesis.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • SIRT-1 levels are higher in muscular tissue under caloric restriction (calorie intake lower by about 20-40%).

    “The levels of SIRT-1 are higher in the muscular tissue in the presence of caloric restriction (calorie intake lower of about 20–40%) [15].”

  • Direct activation of SIRT-1 by resveratrol is controversial because in-vitro experiments showed that interaction between resveratrol and the artificial fluorescent substrate used could generate artifacts.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
