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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

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 · context
    Islets from control mice and β-cell lines (INS-1E and MIN6) were incubated with serum from control or trained mice or medium obtained from 5-aminoimidazole-4 carboxamide1-β-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR)-treated C2C12 skeletal muscle cells.
    Summary · context
    Subsequently, islets and β cells were exposed to IL-1β plus IFN-γ.
