Neuronal SIRT1 regulates macronutrient-based diet selection through FGF21 and oxytocin signalling in mice

SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent deacetylase whose functions have been linked to organismal longevity, aging and metabolism. Here, Matsui and colleagues show that neuronal SIRT1 can affect nutrient-related dietary choice in mice, and this effect is mediated by FGF21 signalling and oxytocin.
