The AMPK agonist 5‐aminoimidazole‐4‐carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR), but not metformin, prevents inflammation‐associated cachectic muscle wasting

The AMPK agonist 5‐aminoimidazole‐4‐carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR), but not metformin, prevents inflammation‐associated cachectic muscle wasting

<p dir="ltr">Activation of AMPK has been associated with pro‐atrophic signaling in muscle. However, AMPK also has anti‐inflammatory effects, suggesting that in cachexia, a syndrome of inflammatory‐driven muscle wasting, AMPK activation could be beneficial. Here we show that the AMPK...
