Andersson et al., J Biol Chem 2004 : The finding that leptin and adiponectin activate AMPK to alter metabolic pathways in muscle and liver provides direct evidence for this role in peripheral tissues
Leclerc et al., Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2004 : Here, we explore whether 1 ) glucose, metformin, or leptin regulates AMPK activity in isolated islets from rodent and human and 2 ) whether changes in AMPK activity modulate insulin secretion from human islets
Solinas et al., FEBS Lett 2004 : Our results suggest that the direct effect of leptin in stimulating thermogenesis in skeletal muscle is mediated by substrate cycling between de novo lipogenesis and lipid oxidation, and that this cycle requires both PI3K and AMPK signaling
Yu et al., Diabetologia 2004 (Diabetes Mellitus...) : Leptin has been shown to activate AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) , an enzyme that regulates the activities of key enzymes of lipid synthesis and metabolism
Rossmeisl et al., Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord 2004 (Choristoma...) : Moreover, it has been shown that AMPK in adipocytes can be activated by adipocyte derived hormones leptin and adiponectin, and also by insulin-sensitizes thiazolidinediones
Carling et al., Biochimie 2005 : In the hypothalamus, AMPK is inhibited by leptin and insulin, hormones which suppress feeding, whilst ghrelin, a hormone that increases food intake, activates AMPK
Brabant et al., FASEB J 2005 (Insulin Resistance...) : AMPKalpha protein levels as well as basal and leptin stimulated total and alpha-specific AMPK activity were comparable in both groups
Steinberg et al., Endocrinology 2006 (Obesity) : Both leptin and CNTF reduced AMPK activity and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase phosphorylation in the ARC and PVN of control fed mice
Daval et al., J Physiol 2006 : Leptin and adiponectin as well as hypoglycaemic drugs are activators of adipose tissue AMPK
Uotani et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2006 : Here, we report that the leptin induced phosphorylation of AMPK was detected in Huh7 cells expressing long form leptin receptor ( OBRb ) as well as short form leptin receptor ( OBRa ) ... We also show that Huh7 cells expressing OBRb and SOCS3 ( inhibitor of JAK2 ) resulted in a marked reduction of AMPK activation in response to leptin ... These findings suggest that the activation of JAK2, but not STAT3, may play a critical role in leptin induced AMPK activation in Huh7 cells
Canabal et al., Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 2007 : The effects of glucose and leptin were mediated by suppression of AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK)
Janovská et al., Mol Cell Endocrinol 2008 (Body Weight...) : AMPK activation by leptin occurred independently of energy related metabolites
Minokoshi et al., Nutrition 2008 (Body Weight) : Leptin inhibits AMPK activity in the arcuate and paraventricular hypothalamus, and its inhibition is necessary for the anorexic effect of leptin
Murphy et al., Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2009 (Synaptic Transmission) : However, after a fast, decreased leptin and glucose activate AMPK in NPY-GI neurons
Procopio et al., Endocrinology 2009 : Preincubation of leptin with human recombinant CRP impaired leptin induced AMPK activation , eNOS-Ser ( 1177 ) phosphorylation, eNOS activity, and intracellular cGMP accumulation
Tang et al., Endocrinology 2010 : In summary, curcumin eliminated stimulatory effects of leptin on HSC activation and increased AMPK activity, leading to inducing expression of genes relevant to lipid accumulation and elevating the level of intracellular lipids
Borges et al., Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2011 (Body Weight...) : However, leptin had no effects on 2-AG, p-STAT3, or p-AMPK in the 1LPS and 6LPS groups
Greco et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2011 (Alzheimer Disease) : Leptin directly activated neuronal AMPK and SIRT in cell lines
Moon et al., Diabetologia 2012 : Leptin and amylin in combination activated STAT3, AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) , extracellular signal regulated kinase ( ERK ) 1/2 and Akt signalling pathways in an additive manner, effects that were abolished under endoplasmic reticulum ( ER ) stress
Dagon et al., Cell Metab 2012 (Body Weight) : Serine ( 491 ) phosphorylation is necessary for leptin 's effects on hypothalamic a2AMPK activity, neuropeptide expression, food intake, and body weight
Stark et al., Mol Cell Endocrinol 2013 : These mechanisms include ( 1 ) ghrelin stimulation of AMPK in NPY/AgRP in the arcuate nucleus ( 2 ) ghrelin stimulation of AMPK in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus, ( 3 ) a novel ghrelin stimulated AMPK dependent presynaptic mechanism that sustains AgRP neuron firing via a local synaptic memory system, ( 4 ) adiponectin stimulation of hypothalamic AMPK and ( 5 ) hypothalamic AMPK control of energy expenditure by thyroid hormone or leptin
Miyamoto et al., J Biol Chem 2012 (Fatty Liver...) : Hepatic AMPK activities were decreased in fatty liver from lipodystrophic mice, and leptin activated the hepatic AMPK via the a-adrenergic effect ... Although leptin is shown to activate 5'-AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the skeletal muscle, the effect of leptin in the liver is still unclear ... We investigated the effect of leptin on hepatic AMPK and its pathophysiological relevance in A-ZIP/F-1 mice, a model of generalized lipodystrophy ... Here, we demonstrated that leptin activates hepatic AMPK through the central nervous system and a-adrenergic sympathetic nerves
Moon et al., Diabetologia 2013 : Amylin induced downregulation of hippocampal neurogenesis is attenuated by leptin in a STAT3/AMPK/ERK dependent manner in mice
Fuentes et al., Gen Comp Endocrinol 2013 : Leptin increased during fasting concomitantly with AMPK activation, which was inversely correlated with TOR activation
Park et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2013 : We discovered that the molecular mechanism of leptin induced AMPK activation involves canonical transient receptor potential 4 and calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase kinase ß. AMPK activation was dependent on both leptin and glucose concentrations, so at optimal concentrations of leptin, AMPK was activated sufficiently to induce KATP channel trafficking and hyperpolarization of pancreatic ß-cells in a physiological range of fasting glucose levels
