AICAR is an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).{15379} It increases AMPK kinase activity in isolated hepatocytes (EC50 = ~500 ?M) and reduces HMG-CoA reductase activity and fatty acid and sterol synthesis in these cells. AICAR (0.5 mM) inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose uptake to 62% of control cells and reduces GLUT4 translocation by 2.5-fold in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.{15378} In astrocyte-enriched glial cells, AICAR (1 mM) prevents increases in protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), COX-2, and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) induced by LPS and amyloid-? (A?) (25-35) and expression of TNF-?, IL-1?, and IL-6 induced by LPS and A?42.{15380} AICAR inhibits autophagy in rat hepatocytes (IC50 = 0.3 mM) and induces apoptosis in rat ? cells in a concentration-dependent manner.{47609,47610}
