Mechanism of Action
AICAR serves as a cell-permeable activator of AMPK, mimicking the effects of increased AMP levels within the cell. By activating AMPK, AICAR initiates a cascade of metabolic responses that promote catabolic processes and inhibit anabolic pathways, thereby restoring energy balance under stress conditions.
Applications in Research
Researchers utilize AICAR to explore various aspects of cellular metabolism, including:
-
Energy Regulation: Studying how cells adapt to energy stress and maintain homeostasis.
-
Metabolic Diseases: Investigating potential therapeutic targets for conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity.
-
Exercise Physiology: Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying endurance and muscle function.
-
Cancer Research: Exploring the role of AMPK in tumor growth and response to treatments.
