AMP-activated protein kinase signaling
in metabolic regulation
Yun Chau Long and Juleen R. Zierath
Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an energy sensor that regulates cellular metabolism. When activated by
a deficit in nutrient status, AMPK stimulates glucose uptake and lipid oxidation to produce energy, while turning
off energy-consuming processes including glucose and lipid production to restore energy balance. AMPK controls
whole-body glucose homeostasis by regulating metabolism in multiple peripheral tissues, such as skeletal muscle,
liver, adipose tissues, and pancreatic cells key tissues in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. By responding to
diverse hormonal signals including leptin and adiponectin, AMPK serves as an intertissue signal integrator among
peripheral tissues, as well as the hypothalamus, in the control of whole-body energy balance.
Living organisms are constantly challenged with irregular food
supply; therefore the ability to maintain energy balance during
food deprivation is critical for survival. Such selection pressure has
driven organisms to evolve complex systems to store fuel substrates
during food supply and to reduce energy expenditure during food
shortage. Insulin is the primary anabolic hormone that stimulates
uptake and storage of fuel substrates in skeletal muscle, liver, and
fat cells, while inhibiting substrate production. Disruption of
energy balance caused by overeating and a sedentary lifestyle has
led to an increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) (1, 2), a
metabolic disorder associated with insulin resistance in peripheral
tissues. Since energy balance is regulated by multiple processes,
investigation of the cellular targets that regulate substrate intake
and energy expenditure could enhance our understanding of the
metabolic syndrome and conceivably lead to the development of
novel preventive and pharmaceutical intervention strategies.
In multiple mammalian tissues, the AMP-activated protein
kinase (AMPK) controls glucose and lipid metabolism (35)
(Figure 1). Furthermore, AMPK integrates signaling circuits
between peripheral tissues and the hypothalamus to regulate
food intake and whole-body energy expenditure. The critical role
of AMPK as an evolutionarily conserved energy sensor and mas-
ter regulator of metabolism is further supported by the role of
its ortholog in glucose metabolism of the unicellular eukaryote
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (35). This Review will highlight the role of
AMPK in the regulation of fuel substrate metabolism in peripheral
tissues, intertissue communication, and food intake.
Structure and regulation of AMPK
One of the most profound features of AMPK as a metabolic sen-
sor is its sensitivity to the cellular energy status, which results
from its unique biochemical properties. AMPK is a heterotrimeric
protein consisting of a catalytic and regulatory and sub-
units (35) (Figure 1). Each and subunit is encoded by 2 genes
(1 and 2 or 1 and 2), whereas the subunit is encoded by
3 genes (1, 2, and 3). The protein is activated in response to
an increase in the ratio of AMP to ATP within the cell and there-
fore acts as an efficient sensor for cellular energy state. Binding of
AMP activates AMPK allosterically and induces phosphorylation
of a threonine residue (Thr-172) within the activation domain
of the subunit by an upstream kinase, the tumor suppressor
LKB1 (3, 4, 6). Furthermore, binding of AMP inhibits the dephos-
phorylation of Thr-172 by protein phosphatase, whereas a high
concentration of ATP inhibits the activation of AMPK. Recent
studies identified calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase
(CaMKK) as an additional upstream kinase of AMPK (79). Acti-
vation of AMPK by CaMKK is triggered by a rise in intracellular
calcium ions, without detectable changes in the AMP/ATP ratio
(9). CaMKK is highly expressed in the CNS, and lower levels are
detected in other tissues such as liver and skeletal muscle, sug-
gesting that the AMPK pathway is regulated by multiple mecha-
nisms that are likely to be tissue specific (10).
AMPK activity is activated by a wide array of metabolic stresses,
including hypoxia, ischemia, and oxidative and hyperosmotic
stresses (3, 4, 6, 11). Furthermore, exercise and glucose depriva-
tion also activate AMPK, which suggests a role in exercise adapta-
tions and cell function. In general, activation of AMPK triggers
catabolic pathways that produce ATP, while turning off anabolic
pathways that consume ATP, to maintain cellular energy stores (4,
11). Metformin and thiazolidinedione, 2 widely prescribed drugs
for the treatment of T2D, are also reported to increase AMPK
activity (12), underscoring the potential role of the AMPK path-
way in the treatment of T2D.
Pharmacological activation of AMPK can be achieved by treat-
ment of cells with an artificial activator, 5-aminoimidazole-4-car-
boxamide riboside (AICAR). AICAR is a cell-permeable adenosine
analog that is taken up by the cells and phosphorylated to form
phosphate (ZMP), an AMP mimetic, and confers the activat-
ing effects of AMP on the AMPK pathway (13). However, ZMP
is reported to affect other AMP-regulated enzymes (14, 15), and
therefore caution has to be exercised in interpretation of data that
involves the use of AICAR. Although elevations in the AMP/ATP
ratio constitute a classical pathway of the activation of AMPK,

activators of AMPK such as hyperosmotic stress do not appear to
alter this ratio (12), suggesting that other mechanisms are involved
in the regulation of the AMPK pathway.
AMPK regulates metabolism in peripheral tissues
Role of AMPK in exercise-induced glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. Skel-
etal muscle is the major site of insulin-stimulated glucose disposal
(16), and insulin resistance in this target tissue has long been viewed
as a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of T2D. Therefore,
alternative pathways that stimulate skeletal muscle glucose uptake
independently of insulin signaling could potentially improve glyce-
mic control in T2D subjects. Although exercise stimulates glucose
uptake in skeletal muscle independently of the insulin pathway, the
underlying molecular mechanism remains largely elusive.
The finding that glucose transport can be increased in isolated
skeletal muscle in response to contraction in vitro suggests that the
signaling pathways elicited by internal cellular energy deficiency are
partly accountable for contraction-induced glucose uptake. AMPK
is considered as an attractive candidate for contraction-induced
skeletal muscle glucose uptake because it is activated in parallel
with elevation in AMP and a reduction in creatine phosphate ener-
gy stores (17). Furthermore, AICAR-induced activation of AMPK
increases glucose uptake (18), concomitantly with glucose trans-
porter 4 (GLUT4) fusion with plasma membrane (19). The AICAR
effect on glucose uptake is not affected by inhibition of the insu-
lin-dependent PI3K pathway and is additive to insulin-stimulated
glucose uptake, reminiscent of the exercise effect. However, in rat
slow-twitch (oxidative) soleus muscle, AICAR does not induce glu-
cose uptake, although phosphorylation of AMPK is increased (20).
Furthermore, in slow-twitch muscle, contraction induces glucose
uptake without any apparent increase in AMPK activity when there
is a high glycogen content. (21). Given that AICAR induces AMPK
phosphorylation and glucose uptake in rat fast-twitch (glycolytic)
epitrochlearis muscle, the role of AMPK in mediating muscle glu-
cose uptake is likely to be dependent on fiber type.
Earlier studies linking AMPK signaling with glucose metabo-
lism were correlative in nature. The introduction of transgenic
and genetic knockout mouse models to study AMPK action has
enhanced our understanding of AMPK signaling in contrac-
tion-induced glucose uptake (Table 1). Overexpression of an 2
kinasedead subunit in skeletal muscle abolishes AICAR, but
only partially impairs contraction-stimulated glucose uptake
(22). Furthermore, ablation of skeletal muscle AMPK 2 and 3
subunit expression does not affect glucose uptake stimulated by
contraction, although the AICAR effect is blunted (2325). In
the skeletal musclespecific LKB1 knockout, however, glucose
uptake in response to AICAR and contraction is impaired (26).
These findings suggest that additional pathways mediate con-
traction-induced glucose uptake.
Despite extensive study on upstream stimuli that activate AMPK,
investigation on the downstream substrate(s) of AMPK-mediated
glucose uptake is lacking. Recent reports revealed that Akt sub-
strate of 160 kDa (AS160) is an important substrate downstream
of Akt that is involved in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. In cul-
tured adipocytes, insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation requires
phosphorylation of AS160 (27). Phosphorylation of AS160 by
Akt inhibits its GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity, which
leads to an elevation in the GTP form of a Rab protein, which in
turn increases GLUT4 vesicle translocation to the plasma mem-
brane (2729). In addition to insulin, contraction and activation
of AMPK by AICAR is associated with increased phosphorylation
of AS160 in rodent skeletal muscle. Likewise, in human skeletal
muscle, insulin (30) and exercise (31) stimulate phosphorylation
of AS160. Phosphorylation of AS160 is impaired or abolished in
skeletal muscle from AMPK 2 knockout, 3 knockout, and 2
kinasedead mice in response to AICAR treatment (32). This cor-
roborates findings of impaired AICAR-stimulated glucose uptake
in skeletal muscle of these mice (22, 24, 25). Therefore, AS160
appears to be a downstream target of AMPK in mediating glucose
uptake in skeletal muscle. Moreover, AMPK complexes contain-
ing the 2 and 3 subunits are required for AS160 phosphory-
lation. However, AMPK heterotrimers containing the AMPK 2
subunit are essential for AS160 phosphorylation in response to
muscle contraction, whereas complexes containing the 3 subunit
are dispensable. Despite abolished contraction-stimulated AS160
phosphorylation in skeletal muscle of AMPK 2 knockout and 2
kinasedead mice, contraction-mediated glucose uptake is unal-
tered or slightly impaired in these mice (22, 24), which again chal-
lenges the role of AMPK in exercise-induced glucose uptake.
Although it is apparent that AMPK mediates the effects of
AICAR on glucose uptake, its role in contraction-induced glucose
uptake remains unclear. Nonetheless, the therapeutic potential of
AMPK activation in skeletal muscle to achieve whole-body glyce-
mic control is apparent, given that genetic ablation of AMPK 2
activity abolishes the acute glucose-lowering effect of AICAR in
mice (2224). Further, activation of AMPK with metformin is asso-
ciated with increased glucose uptake in rat skeletal muscle (33).
Metformin also acts as an insulin sensitizer in isolated skeletal
muscle from insulin-resistant humans (34). Therefore, the meta-
bolic effects of metformin in T2D patients may be partly mediated
by the activation of skeletal muscle AMPK (Figure 2).
Regulation of fatty acid oxidation by AMPK. The AMPK pathway has
profound effects on the regulation of lipid metabolism. Fatty acid
oxidation in skeletal muscle involves a rate-controlling step that is
regulated by carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1). CPT1 trans-

Structure and regulation of AMPK. AMPK is a heterotrimeric com-
plex consisting of an , a , and a subunit and is activated by the
upstream kinases CaMKK and LKB1 via phosphorylation of threonine
residue 172. Activation of AMPK by CaMKK and LKB1 is dependent on
the intracellular calcium and AMP/ATP ratio, respectively. Generally,
AMPK restores energy balance by activating processes that produce
energy (e.g., lipid oxidation and glucose uptake) while inhibiting those
that consume energy (e.g., protein synthesis).

fers long-chain acyl-CoA into the mitochondria, and this process
is inhibited allosterically by malonyl-CoA (35), synthesized by ace-
tyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) (36). The activity of ACC is regulated
by reversible phosphorylation, and AMPK directly phosphorylates
and inactivates this downstream target (37, 38). During exercise
(37) and skeletal muscle contraction (17), activated AMPK inhib-
its ACC to reduce malonyl-CoA concentration, thereby driving the
entry of long-chain acyl-CoA into the mitochondria for -oxidation
to restore energy balance (18, 39). The ability of AMPK to induce
lipid oxidation and thus lower skeletal muscle (40) and liver (33)
lipid deposition is considered an important feature for the insulin-
sensitizing effect of AMPK activation. Indeed, when an activating
form of AMPK 3(R225Q) subunit is expressed in skeletal muscle
via genetic manipulation, the transgenic mice are protected against
the development of diet-induced skeletal muscle insulin resistance
(25). This effect is associated with lower skeletal muscle triglyceride
stores as a result of increased fatty acid oxidation (25).
AMPK activation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and insulin sensitivity in
skeletal muscle. Exercise has been long recognized as an essential ele-
ment of clinical management of T2D. Long-term exercise training
enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle
(41, 42) and promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, which leads to
improved oxidative metabolism (43). Decreased mitochondrial
density and activity have been proposed to partly account for
the development of skeletal muscle insulin resistance (4446).
Given that activation of AMPK recapitulates some of the exercise-
induced adaptations, it is likely to mediate some beneficial effects
of exercise on glucose homeostasis (41, 42).
Activation of AMPK by hypoxia and AICAR mimics contraction-
enhanced insulin sensitivity of glucose transport in isolated skeletal
muscle (47). In long-term treatment studies, in vivo AICAR admin-
istration increases GLUT4 and hexokinase II expression (48, 49)
and enhances insulin-stimulated muscle glucose transport (50, 51)
and GLUT4 translocation (51). In genetic mouse models, an acti-
vating mutant AMPK 3(R225Q) subunit enhanced expression of
genes essential for skeletal muscle lipid and oxidative metabolism,
whereas ablation of the AMPK 3 subunit impaired the expression
of these genes (52, 53). In response to exercise, mutant 3(R225Q)
mice demonstrated enhanced skeletal muscle expression of GLUT4
and hexokinase II, whereas expression of these genes during recov-
ery was blunted in 3 knockout mice (54). The mechanisms for
such effects are unclear. Nonetheless, several studies revealed can-

didate downstream players; AMPK activation is associated with
increased expression of myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) and
MEF2D (55), transcription factors that regulates the GLUT4 gene
promoter. Furthermore, diet-induced chronic energy deprivation
in rodents activates AMPK and increases skeletal muscle mitochon-
drial density (56, 57), concomitantly with an elevation in nuclear
respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1) activity (57) and PPAR coactivator 1
(PGC-1) content (56), which are key regulators of mitochondrial
gene expression (58). These effects, however, are essentially abol-
ished in the AMPK 2 kinasedead mice (56). Nevertheless, activa-
tion of AMPK by chronic AICAR treatment increases some, but not
all, mitochondrial enzyme activity in rat skeletal muscle (59), and
exercise-induced gene expression is unaltered in 1 and 2 knock-
out mice (60). Therefore, AMPK may mediate some, but not all,
exercise-induced gene expression, although chronic exercise effects
in the AMPK mouse genetic models remain uncharacterized.
Regulation of liver metabolism by AMPK. Glucose homeostasis is
maintained by a balance between hepatic glucose production and
glucose uptake by peripheral tissues. Elevated glucose production
by the liver is a major cause of fasting hyperglycemia in T2D (61,
62). Gluconeogenesis in the liver is regulated by multiple enzymes
such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glu-
cose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) (63). Activation of AMPK suppresses
the transcription of these genes in hepatoma cells (64), provid-
ing clues for the role of AMPK in gluconeogenesis. Furthermore,
AMPK 2 liver-specific knockout mice are glucose intolerant and
display fasting hyperglycemia, presumably because of elevated
gluconeogenesis associated with increased PEPCK and G6Pase
activity (65). Recent data have provided evidence that inhibition
of the gluconeogenic program by AMPK involves a transcriptional
coactivator, transducer of regulated CREB activity 2 (TORC2) (66).
Glucagon and fasting conditions induce hepatic TORC2 nuclear
translocation, which enhances CREB-dependent transcription of
the gluconeogenic program, including PGC-1. Conversely, AMPK
activation causes TORC2 phosphorylation and sequesters the
coactivator in the cytoplasm, thus blunting the expression of the
gluconeogenic program. Deletion of hepatic LKB1 (an upstream
kinase of AMPK) abolishes AMPK activation and leads to nuclear
accumulation of TORC2, which in turn drives gluconeogenesis
(67). Consistently, liver LKB1 knockout mice on a high-fat diet
exhibit fasting hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance and are
unresponsive to metformin treatment (67).
In addition to gluconeogenesis, AMPK action has been implicat-
ed in regulation of liver lipogenesis, lipid oxidation, and cholester-
ol synthesis (4, 6). AMPK suppresses glucose-induced expression
of lipogenesis-associated genes such as fatty acid synthase (33, 68),
ACC, and pyruvate kinase (69). In rat primary hepatocytes, activa-
tion of AMPK by AICAR or metformin increases fatty acid oxida-
tion via inhibition of ACC (33). Consistently, in rats treated with
metformin, triglyceride levels are reduced, concomitantly with an
increase in -hydroxybutyrate, suggesting elevated hepatic lipid
oxidation (33). These enhanced metabolic profiles are accompa-
nied by downregulation of lipogenic genes such as SREBP-1, fatty
acid synthase, and S14 (33). Moreover, the lipid-lowering effects
of metformin in cultured hepatocytes require AMPK activity (70).
Taken together, the studies provide evidence that AMPK suppress-
es liver gluconeogenesis and lipid production, while decreasing
hepatic lipid deposition via increased lipid oxidation, thus improv-
ing the glucose and lipid profile in T2D.
AMPK regulates lipid metabolism in adipocytes. A common character-
istic of T2D is high circulating lipid levels of lipids, partly account-
ed for by impaired insulin-mediated suppression of lipolysis
Figure 2
Role of AMPK in the regulation of whole-body
glucose homeostasis. Activation of AMPK
turns on ATP-generating processes, while
switching off ATP-consuming processes. In
skeletal muscle, acute activation of AMPK
increases glucose uptake and lipid oxidation,
while chronic activation of AMPK is associ-
ated with mitochondrial biogenesis. Activation
of AMPK inhibits glucose and lipid synthesis in
the liver but increases lipid oxidation. Lipolysis
and lipogenesis in adipose tissue are also
reduced by AMPK activation. Collectively, acti-
vation of AMPK in skeletal muscle, liver, and
adipose tissue results in a favorable metabolic
milieu for the prevention or treatment of T2D,
i.e., decreased circulating glucose, reduced
plasma lipid, and ectopic fat accumulation,
as well as enhanced insulin sensitivity. Acti-
vation of pancreatic AMPK is associated with
decreased insulin secretion, likely a protec-
tive measure to prevent hypoglycemia during
food deprivation, although this effect needs to
be considered in pharmaceutical targeting of
AMPK for the treatment of T2D.

in adipose tissue (62, 71). Elevated circulating FFAs released by
adipocytes are associated with ectopic fat accumulation and
can cause insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and liver, as well
as impaired insulin secretion by cells (72). Insulin controls the
release of FFAs from adipose tissue by inhibition of hormone-sen-
sitive lipase, a rate-limiting enzyme of lipolysis. However, AMPK
has also been implicated in the regulation of lipolysis through
direct phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase, which leads
to inhibition of subsequent activation by protein kinase A (73).
AMPK is thought to inhibit lipolysis, since treatment of isolated
rat adipocytes with AICAR antagonizes isoprenaline-induced
lipolysis (13, 74). Furthermore, expression of a constitutively
active form of AMPK reduces isoproterenol-stimulated lipoly-
sis, whereas reduced AMPK activity increases lipolysis in adipo-
cytes (75). AMPK inhibits lipogenesis in isolated adipocytes via
increased ACC phosphorylation in response to AICAR stimula-
tion (74). AMPK also appears to control whole-body adiposity;
when subjected to a high-fat diet, AMPK 2 knockout mice devel-
oped increased body weight and fat mass as compared with the
wild-type mice (76). Although an in vivo antilipolytic effect of
AICAR has been demonstrated (77), AMPK activity in adipocytes
is paradoxically augmented in response to fasting (75), a condi-
tion when lipolysis is elevated. Furthermore, there is also evidence
that activation of AMPK promotes lipolysis (78). Therefore, the
physiological relevance and role of AMPK in the regulation of
lipolysis in vivo remain to be addressed.
AMPK and insulin release by pancreatic cells. The SNF1 complex
(a yeast ortholog of AMPK) in S. cerevisiae responds to changes
in the glucose concentration in the medium and is essential for
transcriptional activation of glucose-repressed genes (35). This
glucose-sensing property is also found in mammalian pancreatic
cells. Glucose increases the intracellular ATP/ADP ratio in
cells (79, 80), which induces closure of ATP-sensitive potassium
channels (81), and influx of calcium ions (82), a critical step in
exocytosis of insulin (83). Moreover, AMP and ADP concentra-
tions in cells decrease in response to elevations in glucose con-
centration (84, 85), and this suggests that AMPK could play a
role in insulin release by acting as a fuel sensor. An increase in
glucose levels represses AMPK activity in cell lines (8588),
whereas AICAR-induced activation of AMPK markedly reduced
glucose-stimulated insulin release from primary pancreatic islets
(85, 87) and cell lines (87, 89). Furthermore, overexpression
of a constitutively active form of AMPK reduces calcium influx
in response to depolarizing agents and results in repressed glu-
cose-induced insulin release from cell lines (87, 90). Conversely,
overexpression of a dominant-negative form of AMPK leads to
increases in insulin release without apparent changes in glucose
metabolism and calcium influx (87). Despite its profound effect
on insulin release, the role of AMPK in cell vesicle trafficking
is unclear, and downstream targets of AMPK that mediate these
physiological processes remain to be identified.
Given that antidiabetic drugs such as metformin activate
AMPK, AMPK activators have been proposed to counter effects
on insulin release in T2D patients (91). Incubation of either
human islets or cultured cells with metformin activates AMPK
and inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (88). Although
seemingly undesirable in the treatment of T2D, AMPK-mediated
suppression of insulin release may be physiologically relevant for
maintaining glucose homeostasis through inhibition of insulin
secretion during glucose deficiency. The role of AMPK in the
regulation of cell function is clearly an unresolved question
that requires further investigation.
Integration of intertissue signaling by AMPK
Leptin. One of the central roles of AMPK in the regulation of
whole-body glucose homeostasis is to integrate hormonal and
nutrient signals in multiple tissues (Figure 3). Leptin is an adi-
pocyte-derived hormone that diminishes adiposity by reducing
food intake (92) and improves insulin sensitivity (93), at least in
part by depleting triglyceride stores in peripheral tissues (94, 95).
In peripheral tissues, leptin induces fatty acid oxidation (96) and
Figure 3
Integration of intertissue signaling by AMPK. Adipocyte-derived leptin
reduces food intake though inhibition of hypothalamic AMPK. Leptin
increases skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation via direct activation
of AMPK and the hypothalamussympathetic nervous system axis.
The involvement of hypothalamic AMPK in leptin-induced skeletal
muscle lipid oxidation and glucose uptake is unknown. Adiponec-
tin is secreted by adipose tissue and increases skeletal muscle lipid
oxidation and glucose uptake, as well as suppressing liver glucose
production by activating AMPK.

glucose uptake (97, 98), 2 metabolic responses that are also trig-
gered by AMPK activation; this implicates AMPK kinase as a can-
didate in the mediation of leptin responses. Intravenous injection
of leptin was found to induce fatty acid oxidation via inhibition
of ACC and activate AMPK 2 in skeletal muscle in a biphasic
manner (99). An early and transient activation of AMPK in skel-
etal muscle occurred as a direct response to leptin treatment via
an increase in the AMP concentration. A later, more sustained
activation was mediated by hypothalamicsympathetic nervous
system and skeletal muscle -adrenergic receptors without any
apparent change in AMP level (99).
Adiponectin. Adiponectin is another adipokine that lowers plas-
ma glucose and FFAs in mice challenged with a high-fat diet (100).
These effects are partly accounted for by adiponectin-induced
AMPK activation, which in turn stimulates skeletal muscle fatty
acid oxidation and glucose uptake (101, 102). Furthermore, acti-
vation of AMPK by adiponectin suppresses endogenous glucose
production, concomitantly with inhibition of PEPCK and G6Pase
expression (102). The AMPK pathway mediates metabolic effects
of adipocyte-derived adiponectin in skeletal muscle and liver,
thereby integrating communication among the 3 organs.
Role of AMPK in energy homeostasis. The hypothalamus plays a key
role in whole-body energy homeostasis by regulating peripheral
metabolism (103, 104) and food intake (103105) in response to
hormones and nutrients. AMPK acts as a fuel sensor in the hypo-
thalamus and responds to a variety of metabolic and nutrient fac-
tors. Injection of leptin and insulin (anorexigen) (106, 107) into
rodents inhibits AMPK activity in the hypothalamus; conversely,
administration of orexigenic peptides including ghrelin (106) and
agouti-related protein (107) increases AMPK activity. The modula-
tion of hypothalamic AMPK in rodents alters food intake: activa-
tion of AMPK by AICAR and -lipoic acid in the hypothalamus
increases food intake (106, 108), whereas anorexigenic and weight-
reducing effects of leptin are attenuated when constitutively active
AMPK is expressed in the hypothalamus (107). Apart from signals
elicited by biological peptides, a decrease in fuel availability such as
under fasting conditions (107, 108) activates hypothalamic AMPK
activity. In contrast, hyperglycemia and refeeding inhibit AMPK
activity in the hypothalamus (107).
Apart from the effects on food intake, additional roles of hypo-
thalamic AMPK in the central control of peripheral metabolism
are likely. The hypothalamicsympathetic nervous system axis
partly mediates leptin-induced skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation
(99). Intracerebroventricular administration of AICAR activates
hypothalamic AMPK and triggers increased glycogen synthesis
in skeletal muscle (109). Furthermore, total AMPK 2 knockout
mice display impaired insulin-stimulated whole-body glucose uti-
lization and skeletal muscle glycogen synthesis, although underly-
ing mechanisms are unknown (99, 110). Therefore, further studies
are critical for understanding the role of hypothalamic AMPK in
the regulation of whole-body metabolism.
AMPK represents a diverse, yet versatile energy sensor and meta-
bolic regulator that exerts a regulatory effect in the hypothalamus
and multiple peripheral tissues. Activation of AMPK in skeletal
muscle, liver, and adipose tissue enhances metabolism, insulin
sensitivity, and gene expression to collectively promote a favorable
metabolic milieu for the prevention or treatment of T2D. How-
ever, activated AMPK can induce food intake through its action in
the hypothalamus. This effect is probably a physiological response
for glucose homeostasis but will likely be undesirable for pharma-
ceutical targeting of AMPK for the treatment of T2D and obesity.
Therefore, tissue-specific pharmacological activation of AMPK is
essential and could potentially be achieved through isoform-spe-
cific activation or targeting of downstream substrates of AMPK.
Given that many AMPK-regulated metabolic pathways are also
controlled by other hormonal and metabolic signals, elucidation
of the cross-talk between these pathways is also essential. More-
over, research into the AMPK system provides compelling molecu-
lar support for adopting exercise in the prevention and treatment
of T2D. This of course does not disparage the need for pharmaceu-
tical targeting of the AMPK pathway for a multimodal approach in
the prevention and treatment of T2D.

Inspired by Kubrick
We Need to Talk About Kevin
We need to talk about how great this gut-wrenching drama is…
Dir Lynne Ramsay
With Tilda Swinton, John C Reilly, Ezra Miller
35mm (1, 18 Apr), Digital (22 Apr)
Certificate 15
Ezra Miller glowers at us directly and defiantly as the eponymous Kevin in a pose reminiscent of many of Kubrick's protagonists. In her brilliant adaptation of Lionel Shriver's harrowing novel, Lynne Ramsay employs a distinctly Kubrickian approach to storytelling. Eschewing the epistolary structure of the novel, Ramsay instead opts for an emotive collage of uneasy, psychologically charged spaces, strikingly powerful imagery and a tour de force central performance from Tilda Swinton.
Also available on BFI Player.
The screening on Monday 29 April features an extended intro with Lynne Ramsay.

BleachBit is a free software disk space cleaner, privacy manager, and computer system optimizer.
BleachBit was first publicly released on 24 December 2008 for GNU/Linux systems.[2] The 0.2.1 release created some controversy[3] by suggesting GNU/Linux needed a registry cleaner.
Version 0.4.0 introduced CleanerML,[4] a standards-based markup language for writing new cleaners. On May 29, 2009, BleachBit version 0.5.0 added support for Windows XP, Vista, and 7.[5] On September 16, 2009, version 0.6.4 introduced command line support.[6]
BleachBit is available for download through its website and the repositories of many GNU/Linux distributions.
As of October 15, 2009, BleachBit was more active than 99.972% of projects on [7] and according to the Ubuntu Popularity Contest[8] BleachBit was more popular than 93.44% of installed packages.
BleachBit is written in the Python programming language and uses PyGTK.
Most of BleachBit's cleaners are written in CleanerML,[9] an XML-based markup language for writing cleaners which is an open standard.[10] CleanerML does not only deal with deleting files, but also executes more specialized actions such as vacuuming an SQLite database (used, for example, to clean Yum).
BleachBit's file shredder uses only a single pass[11] because of the lack of evidence that multiple passes, such as the 35-pass Gutmann method, are more effective. However, multiple passes are significantly slower and may give the user a false sense of security by overshadowing other ways privacy may be compromised.
