AMPK inhibition blocks ROS-NFκB signaling and attenuates endotoxemia-induced liver injury.

BACKGROUND:AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an important enzyme in regulation of cellular energy homeostasis. We have previously shown that AMPK activation by 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AICAR) results in suppression of immune responses, indicating the pivotal role of AMPK in immune regula...
