AMP-activated protein kinase control of fat metabolism in skeletal muscleD M Thomson
Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA
Acta Physiol (Oxf) 196:147-54. 2009..Likewise, AMPK may regulate transport of FAs into the cell through FAT/CD36. AMPK may also regulate capacity for FA oxidation by phosphorylation of transcription factors such as CREB or coactivators such as PGC-1alpha...
AMP-activated protein kinase response to contractions and treatment with the AMPK activator AICAR in young adult and old skeletal muscleD M Thomson
Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA
J Physiol 587:2077-86. 2009..Thus, AMPK hyperactivation in response to contractile activity in aged fast-twitch muscle may be the result of compromised cellular energetics and not necessarily due to an inherent defect in responsiveness of the AMPK molecule per se...
Skeletal muscle dysfunction in muscle-specific LKB1 knockout miceDavid M Thomson
Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology, 589 WIDB, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA
J Appl Physiol 108:1775-85. 2010..These findings indicate that LKB1 plays a critical role in the maintenance of both skeletal and cardiac function...
LKB1 and the regulation of malonyl-CoA and fatty acid oxidation in muscleD M Thomson
Dept of Physiology and Developmental Biology, Brigham Young Univ, Provo, UT 84602, USA
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 293:E1572-9. 2007..Regardless, our results suggest that LKB1 is an important regulator of malonyl-CoA levels and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle...
AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates transcription factors of the CREB familyD M Thomson
Dept of Physiology and Developmental Biology, 545 WIDB, Brigham Young Univ, Provo, UT 84602, USA
J Appl Physiol 104:429-38. 2008..We conclude that CREB and related proteins are direct downstream targets for AMPK and are therefore likely involved in mediating some effects of AMPK on expression of genes having a CRE in their promoters...
Thyroid hormone effects on LKB1, MO25, phospho-AMPK, phospho-CREB, and PGC-1alpha in rat muscleD J Branvold
Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA
J Appl Physiol 105:1218-27. 2008..These data provide evidence that thyroid hormones increase soleus muscle LKB1 and MO25 content with subsequent activation of AMPK, phosphorylation of CREB, and expression of mitochondrial protein genes having CRE in their promoters...
Effect of LKB1 deficiency on mitochondrial content, fibre type and muscle performance in the mouse diaphragmJ D Brown
Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT, USA
Acta Physiol (Oxf) 201:457-66. 2011..During exercise, LKB1-mediated phosphorylation of AMPK leads to its activation, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and glucose transport, among other effects. The roles of LKB1 and AMPK have not been fully characterized in the diaphragm...
Skeletal muscle and heart LKB1 deficiency causes decreased voluntary running and reduced muscle mitochondrial marker enzyme expression in miceD M Thomson
Dept of Physiology and Developmental Biology, Brigham Young Univ, Provo, UT 84602, USA
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 292:E196-202. 2007..Capacity for voluntary running is compromised with muscle and heart LKB1 deficiency...
