Calorie restriction (CR) prolongs the lifespan of various species, ranging from yeasts to mice. In yeast, CR extends the lifespan by increasing the activity of silencing information regulator 2 (Sir2), an NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase. SIRT1, a mammalian homolog of Sir2, has been reported to downregulate p53 activity and thereby prolong the lifespan of cells. Although recent evidence suggests a link between SIRT1 activity and metabolic homeostasis during CR, its pathological role in human disease is not yet fully understood.
