Mitochondrial sirtuins in the rat adrenal gland: location within the glands of males and females, hormonal and developmental regulation of gene expressions.

CONCLUSIONS: Sirt3-5 are expressed throughout the rat adrenal, with the highest expression levels in adrenal cortex. Performed experiments (ACTH stimulation, FCS depletion, regeneration) suggest that in the adrenal cortex, the mitochondrial Sirt5 is the primary mitochondrial sirtuin involved in regulating the biological activity of adrenocortical cells. Our results also suggest that normal levels of intracellular Nampt (iNampt) enzymatic activity are required to maintain normal (control) levels of Sirt5 mRNA in cultured cells.
