Journal ArticleDOI

Translocation of myocardial GLUT-4 and increased glucose uptake through activation of AMPK by AICAR

TL;DR: It is concluded that AMPK activation increases cardiac muscle glucose uptake through translocation of GLUT-4 via a pathway that is independent of PI3K.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic activation of AMP kinase results in NRF-1 activation and mitochondrial biogenesis.

TL;DR: Chronic phosphocreatine depletion during beta-GPA supplementation led to the activation of muscle AMPK that was associated with increased NRF-1 binding activity, increased cytochrome c content, and increased muscle mitochondrial density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside infusion on in vivo glucose and lipid metabolism in lean and obese Zucker rats.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of AMP activation on skeletal muscle glucose transport activity and whole-body carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in an insulin-resistant rat model were examined in the obese Zucker rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of AMPK activation on muscle glucose metabolism in conscious rats

TL;DR: The activation of AMPK by AICAR increases skeletal muscle glucose transport activity both in vivo and in vitro, and this cellular pathway may play an important role in exercise-induced increase in glucose Transport activity.
