General description

5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl 5′-monophosphate (AICAR monophosphate) is an intermediate metabolite in the purine de novo synthesis pathway and a potent activator of the human AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity in vitro. It can play an important regulatory role.

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) activation promotes a synthetic phenotype that underlies many vessel growth disorders. In this regard it has been suggested that the metabolic sensor adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has significant antigrowth and antimetastatic properties and may

Recent studies suggest that interleukin 6 (IL-6) is released from contracting skeletal muscles; however, the cellular origin, secretion kinetics, and signaling mechanisms regulating IL-6 secretion are unknown. To address these questions, we developed imaging methodology to study IL-6 in fixed

In the obesity-resistant SJL mouse strain, we previously identified a naturally occurring loss-of-function mutation in the gene for Tbc1d1. Characterization of recombinant inbred mice that carried the Tbc1d1(SJL) allele on a C57BL/6J background indicated that loss of TBC1D1 protects from

Physical exercise has potent therapeutic and preventive effects against metabolic disorders. A number of studies have suggested that 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a pivotal role in regulating carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in contracting skeletal muscles, while several genetically manipulated
