There's a protein in our brain called AMPK that might help protect nerve cells when they're under stress, which could make it a good target for treating brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.

Eating fewer carbs might turn on a key energy sensor in your body that helps improve how your body handles sugar and fat, making it a possible way to boost your metabolism.

A protein in your body called AMPK helps control how fat is burned and made, so fixing how it works might help treat obesity and related health problems.

If we can turn on a certain switch in the body—using things like diet, exercise, or supplements—it might help our cells use sugar and fat better, clean out junk, reduce damage and swelling, and...

Think of AMPK like a car's low-fuel light and mechanic rolled into one — when your cells run low on energy, AMPK turns on and boosts energy production while turning off energy-heavy activities to get...

A hormone called ANP might help fix broken energy factories in fat cells that aren't responding well to insulin — at least in lab dishes.

A hormone called ANP might help fat cells burn more energy by boosting their tiny power plants, according to lab studies.

ANP helps break down fat in human fat cells in the lab, and it does this by turning on a specific switch called the alpha2 part of AMPK. If you block that switch, ANP can't do its fat-burning job...

A hormone called ANP might supercharge fat cells in a lab, making them burn fat seven times more and use twice as much oxygen by turning on a specific energy sensor in the cell.

In mice on a high-fat diet, a drug called GW501516 might boost a specific fat in the liver that could help turn on a fat-burning switch, making the body burn fat more efficiently.

In mice eating a high-fat diet, taking a drug called GW501516 seems to boost a substance in their blood that shows their liver is burning more fat for energy.

In mice eating a fatty diet, a drug called GW501516 seems to turn on a chain reaction in the liver that helps burn fat more efficiently.

In mice on a high-fat diet, a drug called GW501516 might help liver cells better manage fat by turning up a key protein and activating a fat-burning switch.

In mice eating a bad diet, a drug called GW501516 might help keep a key energy-sensing switch in the liver working properly, which could help their bodies handle the stress of unhealthy eating.

If mice eat a greasy, high-fat diet for a long time—like 20 weeks—they start building up fat in their livers, gain weight, and show signs of a condition similar to fatty liver disease in people.

When human liver cells are stressed by certain fats, blocking a specific protein (ACACA) seems to help reduce harmful stress chemicals and boost natural antioxidants, which might protect the cells.

When liver cells are exposed to certain fats—like in a high-fat diet—this study says a gene called ACACA becomes more active, and this might trigger a chain reaction in the cell that affects...

Blocking a certain enzyme (ACACA) seems to help liver cells and mice on a bad diet keep their energy factories (mitochondria) working better.

When liver cells in mice and humans are overloaded with fat, blocking a protein called ACACA helps reduce fat buildup, especially triglycerides and cholesterol, suggesting it plays a key role in how...

In dairy cows, a substance made by gut microbes (acetic acid) might affect milk fat by turning on certain cellular switches (mTORC1 and AMPK) that control fat-related genes.

Acetic acid might help control how dairy cows make fat in their milk by turning certain genes on or off, depending on how much and how long they're exposed to it.

In dairy cows, vitamin B6 goes up in the stomach at night, and this might help move more acetic acid into the blood by turning on a protein called MCT1.

When certain gut bacteria in cows are more active at night, it might help them make milk with more fat — kind of like how our body uses food differently depending on the time of day.

Cows might make fattier milk at night because their gut bacteria and body chemicals change with the time of day.
