The AMPk pathway is a critical metabolic pathway that is responsible for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, cellular clarity, mitochondrial biogenesis and body weight. AMPk also has strong anti-inflammatory effects, regulates insulin sensitivity, upregulates pathways involved in longevity and exchanges muscle performance and contraction. It also governs autophagy, a process whereby cells engulf and clear our debris, damaged proteins, and dysfunctional organelles, and then helps to recycle and dispose of them. AMPk is a truly pluripotent pathway essential for whole body health!
