SIRT3 has become a novel target pursued substantially for its involvement in regulation of aging and agerelated diseases, possibly due to its well-known association with exceptionally long lifespan in humans as well as its mitochondrial localization (5).

Notably, the distribution of some isoforms (e.g., SIRT1, SIRT2,
SIRT3, and SIRT5) is varied due to their specific activity [2].
PGC-1[alpha] targets
SIRT3, a mitochondrial deacetylase, which promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, suppression of ROS [46], and mitochondrial FA oxidation [47].

Three key enzymes involved in the sensing of these perturbations and the subsequent induction of signal transduction are AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and silent mating type information regulation 2 homologues 1 and 3 (SIRT1 and
SIRT3).
