AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation is an established treatment for diabetes. Here the effects of anthocyanin extract from blood orange juice, i.e. cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside (C3G) and its secondary metabolite protocatechuic acid (PCA), on AMPK signalling in murine hepatic cell line and in...
