Metformin inhibits hepatic gluconeogenesis in mice independently of the LKB1/AMPK pathway via a decrease in hepatic energy state

TL;DR: It is found that in mice lacking AMPK in the liver, blood glucose levels were comparable to those in wild-type mice, and the hypoglycemic effect of metformin was maintained, demonstrating that met formin inhibits hepatic gluconeogenesis in an LKB1- and AMPK-independent manner via a decrease in hepatic energy state.

Glutamate becomes neurotoxic via the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor when intracellular energy levels are reduced

TL;DR: The results show that the transition of glutamate from neurotransmitter to neurotoxin is facilitated when cellular energy is limited in cultured cerebellar neurons, demonstrating that glucose metabolism, ATP production, and functioning Na+,K+-ATPases are necessary to generate a resting potential sufficient to maintain the voltage-dependent Mg2+ block of the NMDA receptor channel.

Adenylate Energy Charge in Escherichia coli During Growth and Starvation

TL;DR: Tabulation of adenylate concentrations previously reported for various organisms and tissues supports the prediction, based on enzyme kinetic observations in vitro, that the energy charge is stabilized near 0.85 in intact metabolizing cells of a wide variety of types.

The supply of precursors for the synthesis of fatty acids.

TL;DR: Citrate is rapidly incorporated into fatty acids in the mammary gland and the reaction that initiates this incorporation is catalyzed by the citrate cleavage enzyme.

Adenylate as a metabolic regulator. effect on yeast phosphofructokinase kinetics.

TL;DR: The results presented here suggest that the ratio of the concentrations of AMP and ATP may regulate the activity of phosphofructokinase in yeast.

TL;DR: The changes in activity of citrate-cleavage enzyme correlate with changes in the rate of fatty acid synthesis and provide evidence for the involvement of the citrate -cleavage reaction in fatty acid synthesisation.
