Presents the State-of-the-Art in Fat Taste TransductionA bite of cheese, a few potato chips, a
delectable piece of bacon-a small taste of high-fat foods often draws you back for more. But …

As a cellular energy sensor and regulator, adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated
protein kinase (AMPK) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of energy homeostasis in both …

White adipose tissue (WAT) dysfunction plays a key role in the pathogenesis of type 2
diabetes (DM2). Unrestrained WAT lipolysis results in increased fatty acid release, leading …

The homeostasis dysfunctions caused by cold stress remain a threat to intestinal health,
particularly for young broiler chickens. We hypothesized that adenosine monophosphate …

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a known regulator of whole-body energy
homeostasis, but the downstream AMPK substrates mediating these effects are not entirely …

AMP‐activated protein kinase is a key enzyme in the regulation of energy metabolism. Its
activation has pleiotropic effects in multiple tissues, including increased fatty acid oxidation …

Glucose-sensing neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) are involved in the
regulation of glucose homeostasis. Glucose-sensing neurons alter their action potential …

The central nervous system mediates energy balance (energy intake and energy
expenditure) in the body; the hypothalamus has a key role in this process. Recent evidence …

We have shown that intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR) newborn rats exhibit
hyperphagia, reduced satiety, and adult obesity. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) …

The growth of the intestine requires energy, which is known to be met by catabolism of
ingested nutrients. Paradoxically, during whole body energy deficit including calorie …
