Moreover, the activation of the AMPK pathway by exendin-4 was induced by AICAR, which was inhibited by compound C.
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Rat mesangial cells (MCs) were treated with exendin-4 under high glucose conditions.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibitors (compound C) and agonists (AICAR) were used to analyze the role of this kinase.
In this study, AICAR (acadesine) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking AICAR (acadesine).
