The enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been shown to be central to regulating several metabolic systems such as glucose uptake, oxidation of fatty acids, and insulin sensitivity, but the ...

Physical activity is not only important for fitness but also for overall health. This is confirmed by a new study, which identified PanK4 as a key regulator of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, ...

Research has demonstrated that energy deprivation activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which inhibits milk production by targeting prolactin signaling and fatty acid metabolism.

The researchers increased fatty acid oxidation by acutely derepressing ... was with an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). They did not observe an increase in energy expenditure ...

Furthermore, animals with a muscle-specific deficiency of PanK4 exhibited an increased fat content and impaired fatty acid oxidation within ... key players like mTOR, AMPK, and Akt.
