Winder et al., J Appl Physiol 2000
:
This study was designed to determine whether chronic chemical activation of AMPK will increase mitochondrial enzymes, GLUT-4, and hexokinase in different types of skeletal muscle of resting rats
Fryer et al., Biochem J 2002
:
Long-term ( 5 days ) expression of the constitutively active AMPK mutant increased protein expression of GLUT1, GLUT4 and hexokinase II , consistent with previous reports on the chronic treatment of rats with AICA riboside
Röckl et al., Diabetes 2007
:
AMPK is not necessary for exercise training induced increases in mitochondrial markers, but it is essential for fiber type IIb to IIa/x transformation and increases in hexokinase II protein
