How do you pronounce the name of the sirtuin family of genes?

Thanks, anon.

    You probably wouldn't go very wrong with "sir-two", but that's just a guess. Dar-Ape 03:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

        I'm not completely certain, but it could be like 'certain' 8-)--Light current 04:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

        Would it be "sir-chewin"? -- THL 23:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

            The article is crappy, not bothering to explain many of the terms involved. It's not even clear to me whether it's SIRT2 or Sir2 (maybe they're different things, but if so, that too is far from clear). The term "sirtuin" seems to have been created as a name for the group of genes. That would suggest it is pronounced "Sir-two-in". JackofOz 23:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

                "Sir-two-in" is how I've heard it pronounced at scientific talks. Ignoramibus 02:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

                    "Sir-two-in" if you speak American English, "Sir-tyoo-in" if you speak the vernacular. Rockpocket 06:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

"Sir-two-in" is how I've heard it pronounced at scientific talks. Ignoramibus 02:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
これが，当たりっぽいですね。
つまり，"Sir-two-in"，「サートュイン」って感じで。
ちなみに，これは，抗酸化効果がある遺伝子?(sirtuin genes)だそうで。

resveratrol

こちらは日本語訳では，「レスベラトロル」となっとりました。

Resveratrol Fights Heart Disease and Cancer

The Italian researchers were interested in testing one of the 
most exciting substances to be discovered in modern times: resveratrol. 
This grape-skin compound, which is found in varying amounts in red wine, 
became famous in the 1990s for its beneficial effects on cardiovascular health.
Resveratrol (pronounced rez-VEER-ah-troll) is an antioxidant polyphenol. 
In laboratory studies, it inhibits lipid peroxidation, 
the process by which LDL-cholesterol (the "bad cholesterol") is 
induced to form artery-clogging atherosclerotic plaque; it inhibits platelet
aggregation, the process that induces dangerous blood clots to form at the
 site of a ruptured plaque; and it promotes the nitric-oxide-mediated 
dilation of blood vessels, which is important for maintaining proper blood 
pressure. (For yet another heart benefit, 
see the sidebar "Resveratrol Protects Against Arrhythmias.")

と。ちと長いですが，
「Resveratrol (pronounced rez-VEER-ah-troll) is an antioxidant polyphenol. 」
この1文に注目。
カタカナで書くと，「レヅヴィアトュロル」って感じか。
ちなみに，antioxidant polyphenol とあるように，
こいつは，抗酸化ポリフェノールの1種らしいですわ。

長文といっても，たいしたことないし。えっへん。
ま，最近，例のNEWSWEEK DIGEST にぼこぼこにされているんですけど。
