AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is activated during exercise and ischemia and is
emerging as an important regulatory mechanism in the heart. AMPK promotes adenosine …

The inhibition of apoptotic changes in vascular endothelial cells is important for preventing
vascular damage from hypoxia. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has recently been …

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a major sensor and regulator of the energetic state
of the cell. Little is known about the specific role of AMPKα2, the major AMPK isoform in the …

AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) is a heterotrimetric enzyme that is expressed in many
tissues, including the heart and vasculature, and plays a central role in the regulation of …

This chapter summarizes the implication of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the
regulation of various physiological and pathological cellular events of great importance for …

Over the past decade, AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) has emerged as an important
intracellular signalling pathway in the heart. Activated AMPK stimulates the production of …

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was initially viewed as energy sensor and activated
by increased intracellular concentrations of AMP following nutrient deprivation …

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) promotes glucose transport, maintains ATP stores,
and prevents injury and apoptosis during ischemia. AMPK has several direct molecular …
