SIRT3 and sexually transmitted disease: Chen et al. (2024) demonstrated that GAS (25 and 50 mg/kg, gavage) modulates the sirtuin 3 (Sirt3)-mediated transcription factor acetylation pathway and enhances the generation of adenosine triphosphate, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH), thus mitigating BBCAO-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in VD.
