Rabbit hole dive into AMPK vs. MTOR with Coach Debbie
Manage episode 407377461 series 3559835
- Nutrient Sensing: Acts as a cellular energy sensor.
- Activation: Triggered by the depletion of energy stores, resulting in a high AMP/ADP:ATP ratio.
- Effects on Metabolism:
- Increases the oxidation of free fatty acids (FFA) and glucose.
- Reduces cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis.
- Regulation by Nutrients:
- Activated during fasting.
- Suppressed by the presence of carbohydrates and amino acids.
- Role in Cellular Processes:
- Signaling to increase mitochondrial biogenesis.
- Promotes aerobic metabolism.
- Activation: Activated by various signals, including resistance exercise.
- Effects on Protein Synthesis and Growth:
- Increases protein synthesis.
- Contributes to muscle hypertrophy.
- Activation Signals:
- Metabolites of muscle damage.
- Growth hormone (GH).
- Essential amino acids (EAA) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA).
- Carbohydrates and insulin.
- Inhibition by AMPK: mTORC1 is inhibited by AMPK, creating a reciprocal relationship.
