SIRT-1 can decrease iron uptake from the extracellular environment by stabilizing iron regulatory protein, which is responsible for iron transport into the cell
Tyrosinase activity assay on HQ as a substrate TyrBm activity was determined by measuring the formation of 2-hydroxy- p -benzoquinone (HPB) from HQ, in the presence of H 2 O 2 or L-dopa
