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

AMP-kinase regulates food intake by responding to hormonal and nutrient signals in the hypothalamus

TL;DR: Hypothalamic AMPK plays a critical role in hormonal and nutrient-derived anorexigenic and orexigenic signals and in energy balance, and inhibition of hypothalamic AM PK is necessary for leptin's effects on food intake and body weight, as constitutively active AMPK blocks these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose-selective targeting of the GLUT4 gene impairs insulin action in muscle and liver

TL;DR: Downregulation of GLUT4 and glucose transport selectively in adipose tissue can cause insulin resistance and thereby increase the risk of developing diabetes, as well as developing glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinaemia.
