AICAR (Acadesine) is an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator studied as an exercise-mimetic for metabolic, endurance, and cellular-energy research.
AICAR (Acadesine)
Adenosine analog metabolized to ZMP, a direct activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)
A small-molecule research compound rather than a peptide
Studied as an "exercise mimetic" for endurance and metabolic signaling
Investigated for glucose uptake and fatty-acid oxidation pathways
Referenced in cellular-energy, metabolic, and ischemia research models
