L-2-Phosphoglyceric acid disodium salt is a glyceric acid which serves as the substrate in glycolysis. It is catalyzed by enolase into phosphoenolpyruvate.

SRT1720 (10, 30, 100 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reduces the hyperinsulinemia after 4 weeks, partially normalizing elevated insulin levels similar to rosiglitazone treatment. SRT1720 treatment significantly reduces fasting blood glucose to near normal levels in Lepob/ob mice[1]. SRT1720 has the ability to protect against the negative effects of diet-induced obesity in mice and has a connection to metabolic adaptation in fatty acid and oxidative metabolism through downstream targets of SIRT1 such as PGC1α and FOXO1[2]. SRT1720 (50-100 mg/kg, p.o.), during emphysema development, attenuates elastase-induced airspace enlargement and lung function impairment as well as reduces arterial oxygen saturation in WT mice [3].
