AMPK: A key sensor of fuel and energy status in skeletal muscle
Research output: Contribution to journal › Review › Research › peer-review
Contraction induces marked metabolic changes in muscle, and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a good candidate to explain these effects. Recent work using a muscle-specific knockout of the upstream kinase, LKB1, has confirmed that the LKB1→AMPK cascade is the signaling pathway responsible for many of these effects.
