Research Abstract |
The tendency of increasing in p-AMPKα2 and p-AMPKβ1 was observed in the brain samples 60 minutes after decapitation of rats. This result suggested that AMPK was activated by neuronal ischemia. Infarction volumes in focal ischemia with rat model were decreased by AICAR, which is one of the activators of AMPK. However, AICAR exacerbated neuronal damage in gerbil forebrain ischemia, and the same exacerbation was observed in the administration of Compound C, one of the AMPK inhibitors.
