The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are characterised by inappropriate handling of nutrients. Mitochondria are the primary site for nutrient oxidation in cells. Sirtuins such as SIRT3 and SIRT5 are abundant in mitochondria and may affect mitochondrial function and insulin action in skeletal muscle. Understanding the biochemical pathways involved in energy metabolism in skeletal muscle is crucial in the development of therapies for insulin resistance and ty ....Metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are characterised by inappropriate handling of nutrients.
