So AMPK/Sirt1 likely promote each other's activation (which is why teasing out MOA, determining true cause and effect can be hard)

Further complicating things is timing, duration, dosing, etc. ie in this paper chronic metformin increases murine Sirt1 https://t.co/30vioi25ZF 8/ pic.twitter.com/rufhVQMSXp
According to the researchers, metformin works on the ‘longevity gene’ SIRT1 to protect the user’s vascular system against deterioration caused by glucose toxicity.
