Distinct Roles of the NAD + -Sirt1 and FAD-LSD1 Pathways in Metabolic Response and Tissue Development.

Various nutritional signals are transduced by two epigenetic pathways: NAD-dependent sirtuin Sirt1 (NAD(+)-Sirt1) deacetylase and flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent lysine-specific demethylase 1 (FAD-LSD1). These pathways are controlled by dietary vitamins and nutrient-responsive hormones such as glucocorticoids and insulin, resulting in endocrine-metabolism-epigenome cooperation in adipocyte and skeletal muscle development.
