Abstract:
Dysregulated lipid profile with hypertriglyceridemia and increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) whereas the reason is unclear. A similar phenomenon is found in the elder population. Silent information regulator-1 (SIRT1) associates with many modulators regulating lipid metabolism and results in increased expression of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs), which functions as a key modulator in lipid synthesis. Since CKD is being viewed as a premature aging model and SIRT1 is known to decrease during the process of aging, we hypothesize that SIRT1 level is reduced in the liver when CKD develops and eventually result in dysregulated lipid profile.
