Treatment with SRT3025 decreased bone sclerostin expression and increased cortical periosteal mineralizing surface and serum propeptide of type I procollagen, a bone formation marker. 197
SRT3025 C31H31N5O2S2 569.74 Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes Male CD1 mice 3.18 g/kg, milled in chow, 20 weeks. Treatment with SRT3025 diminished their glucagon secretion and proliferative activity in association with a reduction in the alpha cell associated transcription factor, Aristaless Related Homeobox (Arx) 198
SRT3025 C31H31N5O2S2 569.74 Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) induce osteoporosis. C57Bl/6 mice 50 mg/kg, in drinking water, 16 weeks. SRT3025 inhibits the expression of sclerosclerin in bone cells by activating SIRT1, and reduced the resorptive activity and formation activity of bone tissue, thereby alleviating age-related bone loss 200
SRT3025 C31H31N5O2S2 569.74 Diabetes mouse Old male db/db mouse 3.18 g/kg, milled in chow, 12 weeks. While reducing hyperglycaemia and promoting beta cell expansion, enhancing the activity of SIRT1 facilitates a phenotypic change in a db/db mouse model of diabetes to one that more closely resembles the physiological state of torpor or hibernation. 238
Nicotinic acid C6H5NO2 123.11 Hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis mice LDL receptor knockout mice 50, 250, or 1000 mg/kg, milled in chow, 8 weeks. Nicotinic acid reduces total cholesterol, cholesterol esters, plasma triglycerides, atherosclerotic lesion size, lipid area, and aortic macrophage infiltration. 239
ginsenoside Rb2 C53H90O22 1079.27 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and glucose tolerance model C57BL/KsJ-Lepdb (db/db) mice 10 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneal injection, 4 weeks. Rb2 alleviates hepatic lipid accumulation by restoring autophagy via the induction of sirt1 and activation of AMPK, and resultes in improved NAFLD and glucose tolerance. 174
Melatonin C13H16N2O2 232.282 Apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (ApoE-/-) C57BL/6 male mice and ApoE-/- male mice 10 mg/kg/day, dissolved in 1% ethanol and then diluted in tap water, 9 weeks Melatonin treatment improves serum biochemical markers and hepatic morphological impairment and inhibited oxidative stress through its antioxidant properties and also by SIRT1 upregulation. 175

Quercetin CHO7 302.236 Letrozole-induced Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) mice Female Wistar rats 100 mg/kg/day, intragastric administration, 30 days. Treatment with quercetin improves the PCOS related disturbances in estrous cycle, lipid profile, serum levels of testosterone, estradiol and progesterone, and insulin resistance. Besides, the expression levels of AMPK and SIRT-1 in ovarian tissue are upregulated in the rats which received quercetin. Quercetin also reverses the PCOS-induced alteration in adipose tissue levels of adiponectin, visfatin, and resistin. 129
