Description SIRT1 activation prevents loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in experimental optic neuritis. While the mechanism of this effect is unknown, a role in reduction of oxidative stress has been suggested. Because oxidative stress is a common mechanism of neuronal damage, we hypothesized that SIRT1 may reduce RGC loss due to oxidative stress following traumatic injury.
