...’ responding to a decrease in the level of ATP by increasing energy production and decreasing energy utilization. Recent studies have shown that AMPK plays a role in controlling the whole body energy homoeostasis, including the regulation of plasma glucose levels, fatty acid oxidation and glycogen metabolism...

...D. Neumann; U. Schlattner; T. Wallimann One of the most important duties of a cell is energy homoeostasis. Several kinases, including AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), creatine kinase and adenylate kinase, are involved in the immediate response to stress, resulting in energy depletion. Here, we...
