AICAR

AICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a cell-permeable nucleotide that activates AMPK and is investigated for its role in metabolic regulation and mitochondrial function.

What it is

AICAR mimics a low-energy state in the cell and activates the AMPK signaling pathway, which governs glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis. It is an established pharmacological tool in metabolism and muscle physiology research. For research use only. Not for human use.
