Insulin resistance is a major predictor of the development metabolic disorders. Sirtuins (SIRTs) have emerged as potential targets that can be manipulated to counteract age-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes. SIRT2 has been recently shown exert important effects, but whether regulates insulin sensitivity in hepatocytes currently unknown. The aim this study investigate possibility and elucidate underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, we show downregulated insulin-resistant livers, was...

Abstract Rett syndrome (RS) is one of the best human models to study movement disorders. Patients evolve from a hyperkinetic hypokinetic state, and large series abnormal movements may be observed along their lives such as stereotypies, tremor, chorea, myoclonus, ataxia, dystonia, rigidity. The aim this work was analyze disorders in RS patients with detected MECP2 mutation, well correlation genotype, clinically genetically well‐characterized sample patients, thus contribute redefine clinical...
