    AMPK or Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and energy balance in the body. It acts as a sensor of cellular energy levels and is activated when energy levels are low, such as during exercise or fasting. The activation of AMPK leads to the inhibition of anabolic pathways, such as lipid and protein synthesis, and the stimulation of catabolic pathways, such as glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation. In this blog, we will explore the connection between AMPK, metabolism, and insulin and discuss ways to activate AMPK.
