General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | transgenic littermates overexpressing an alpha2AMPK kinase-dead (KD) have reduced skeletal muscle alpha2AMPK activity (50% in gastrocnemius and more than 80% in soleus and extensor digitorum longus) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase-2 Ser228 phosphorylation (90% in gastrocnemius). Obesity in response to high-fat feeding is not associated with impaired AMPK actions, obesity-induced lipid accumulation and insulin resistance are not exacerbated in AMPK KD mice | Mus musculus |
