General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | AMPK activation by metformin regulates acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity by its phosphorylation. ACC is a rate-controlling enzyme for the synthesis of malonyl-CoA, which plays a critical role in the synthesis of fatty acids and the inhibition of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in the liver. the enzyme activator metformin decreases high-fat diet-induced renal injury by regulating the expression of adipokines and the renal AMP-activated protein kinase/acetyl-CoA carboxylase pathway in mice | Mus musculus |
physiological function | AMPK activation by metformin regulates acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity by its phosphorylation. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved in the cellular metabolic response to metabolic stress. Metabolic stress, such as impaired ATP production or accelerated ATP consumption activate the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) system, which acts as a sensor of cellular energy metabolism | Mus musculus |
