Key Functions & Mechanisms
Metabolic Regulation:
Activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a master energy sensor, to boost cellular energy and manage metabolic pathways
Improves how cells respond to insulin, helping prevent diet-induced insulin resistance
Enhances glucose uptake and prevents muscle atrophy, particularly in skeletal muscle
Helps cells adapt to metabolic stress and translocates to the nucleus to regulate gene expression
