Abstract excerpt
To assess the metabolic effects of chronic activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in liver, we generated a new transgenic (Tg) mouse model expressing constitutively active (CA)-AMPK-alpha1 in liver. In the short-term activation, the TgCA-AMPK-alpha1 mice exhibited minimal phenotype, but the Tg liver had elevated sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-2 mRNA level and a parallel increase in...
