Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates metabolic adaptations in skeletal muscle. The aim of this study was to investigate whether AMPK modulates the expression of skeletal muscle genes that have been implicated in lipid and glucose metabolism under fed or fasting conditions. METHODS: Two genetically modified animal models were used: AMPK gamma3 subunit knockout mice (Prkag3(-/-)) and...
