Promising but preliminary

Sirtuin 1 deficiency mediates chronic kidney disease-induced inflammaging cardiovascular calcification.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) markedly accelerates calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), yet the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic targets remain poorly defined. Modulation of the SIRT1-NLRP3 axis, particularly by semaglutide, may represent a promising strategy for preventing valve calcification.
