Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, AICAR (acadesine) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking AICAR (acadesine).

    Summary
    Moreover, the activation of the AMPK pathway by exendin-4 was induced by AICAR, which was inhibited by compound C.

    Summary · context
    Rat mesangial cells (MCs) were treated with exendin-4 under high glucose conditions.
    Summary · context
    AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibitors (compound C) and agonists (AICAR) were used to analyze the role of this kinase.
