Sirt1 (Sirtuin 1) is a NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase, which stimulates gluconeogenesis and inhibits glycolysis in the liver, and which increases fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle. The aim of this thesis was to define the metabolic functions of Sirt1 in skeletal muscle. We first showed, using a mouse model lacking the Sirt1 gene, that Sirt1 regulated expression of hexokinase II and SREBP-1c, a protein that regulates hexokinase expression. In addition, a model of gene electrotransfer allowed us to show that Sirt1 regulated expression of SREBP-1c in a LXR-dependent manner. Finally, inhibition of Sirt1 by EX527 resulted in a decrease of glucose consumption in C2C12 myotubes. Taken together, these data suggest an important role of Sir...
