SIRT3 and epilepsy: In addition, some other members of SIRTs including SIRT3, 4 and 5 display neuroprotective roles against epilepsy as a result of evidences supporting the improvement of neuronal damage for SIRT3 via scavenging ROS in mitochondria [120], protection from excitotoxicity for SIRT4 via increasing GLT-1-mediated glutamate uptake [121] and reduction of hippocampal neurodegeneration and attenuation of seizure susceptibility for SIRT5 [122].
