Characterisation of the role of AMP-activated protein kinase in 3T3-L1 adipocytes
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been proposed to be a therapeutic target for patients with type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. In skeletal muscle AMPK stimulates glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation, whereas in liver it inhibits fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. The Rab GTPase...
