Aicar
AMPK activator
An AMPK activator used in research to study energy metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis and endurance ('exercise-mimetic') physiology.
Mechanism
Directly activates AMPK, the cell's master energy sensor. This shifts cells toward energy production and mitochondrial growth, which is why it is studied as an endurance / 'exercise-in-a-vial' research compound.
Areas of research
- AMPK energy-sensing pathway
- Mitochondrial biogenesis
- Endurance and exercise-mimetic research
- Glucose-uptake models
