Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin stimulates glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by activating AMP-activated protein kinase

TL;DR: It is shown that phosphorylation and activation of the 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are stimulated with globular and full-length Ad in skeletal muscle and only with full- lengths Ad in the liver, indicating that stimulation of glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by Ad occurs through activation of AMPK.
Journal ArticleDOI

AMP-activated protein kinase: Ancient energy gauge provides clues to modern understanding of metabolism

TL;DR: Through signaling, metabolic, and gene expression effects, AMPK enhances insulin sensitivity and fosters a metabolic milieu that may reduce the risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leptin stimulates fatty-acid oxidation by activating AMP-activated protein kinase.

TL;DR: It is shown that leptin selectively stimulates phosphorylation and activation of the α2 catalytic subunit of AMPK (α2 AMPK) in skeletal muscle, thus establishing a previously unknown signalling pathway for leptin, and identifying AMPK as a principal mediator of the effects of leptin on fatty-acid metabolism in muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

LKB1 is the upstream kinase in the AMP-activated protein kinase cascade

TL;DR: The results identify a link between two protein kinases, previously thought to lie in unrelated, distinct pathways, that are associated with human diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

The AMP-activated/SNF1 protein kinase subfamily: metabolic sensors of the eukaryotic cell?

TL;DR: AMP-activated protein kinase and SNF1-related protein kinases in higher plants are likely to be involved in the response of plant cells to environmental and/or nutritional stress.
