AICAR 50MG

AICAR 50MG | Selective AMPK Agonist

The definitive molecular switch for studying cellular energy regulation and metabolic adaptation.

AICAR (Acadesine) is a potent activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In metabolic research, it is utilized to study the transition of cellular energy sourcing from glucose to fatty acid oxidation. By mimicking a state of low cellular energy, AICAR allows researchers to investigate the “exercise mimetic” effects on muscle tissue and systemic metabolism without physical exertion.

Research Benchmarks: Mitochondrial & Metabolic Efficiency

• Fatty Acid Oxidation: Investigating the upregulation of lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle.
• Mitochondrial Biogenesis: Studying the formation of new mitochondria to enhance cellular endurance.
• Glucose Homeostasis: Researching non-insulin dependent glucose uptake pathways.
