Chronic AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Activation and a High-Fat Diet Have an Additive Effect on Mitochondria in Rat Skeletal Muscle
Factors that stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle include AMPK, calcium, and circulating FFAs. Chronic treatment with either AICAR, a chemical activator of AMPK, or increasing circulating FFAs with a high fat diet increases mitochondria in rat skeletal muscle. The purpose of this st...
