High fat diet attenuates the anticontractile activity of aortic PVAT via a mechanism involving AMPK and reduced adiponectin secretion [PDF]
, 2018 Background and aim: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) positively regulates vascular function through production of factors such as adiponectin but this effect is attenuated in obesity.

Effects of Aerobic Interval Training and Adenosine on the Expression of AMPK, PPARγ and A2B Receptor in the Liver of Rats Fed a High-Fat Diet [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, 2020 Background & Objective: Obesity causes steatosis in the liver. PPARγ transcription factor of glucose and fat metabolism genes and AMPK cell energy sensor are considered as therapeutic targets in non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) patients.

LKB1 is essential for the proliferation of T-cell progenitors and mature peripheral T cells [PDF]
, 2010 The serine/threonine kinase LKB1 has a conserved role in Drosophila and nematodes to co-ordinate cell metabolism. During T lymphocyte development in the thymus, progenitors need to synchronize increased metabolism with the onset of proliferation and ...

Choreography of AMPK activation [PDF]
Cell Research, 2014 A recent study published in Cell Research by Li and colleagues reports a detailed biophysical and structural study of AMPK's intra-molecular interactions during activation. By employing subunit tagging and proximity analysis with the aid of AlphaScreen instrumentation, Li et al. add to our understanding of the choreography of activation of AMPK by both
