Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase using food factors

最近的研究表明，AMP激活的蛋白激酶(AMPK)是细胞能量平衡的重要因素之一，被认为是预防和治疗2型糖尿病的潜在治疗靶点。食物因素可以激活AMPK，这种激活可能具有潜在的抗糖尿病作用。因此，本研究旨在研究食物因素是否激活AMPK，降低2型糖尿病小鼠的血糖水平和改善胰岛素敏感性。

Recent studies show that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is one of the most important factors for cellular energy balance and is recognized as a potential therapeutic target in the prevention and treatment of type2 diabetes. Food factors can activate AMPK and this activation may potentially have anti-diabetic effects. Therefore, the present study was designed to examine whether the administration of food factors activate AMPK and reduces blood glucose level and improves insulin sensitivity in type2diabetic mice.
