1 Furthermore, administration of metformin as well as 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside, an AMPK agonist, significantly increased eNOS Ser1179 phosphorylation, NO bioactivity, and coimmunoprecipitation of eNOS with hsp90 in wild-type C57BL6 mice but not in AMPK-alpha1 knockout mice, suggesting that AMPK is required for metformin-enhanced eNOS activation in vivo. acadesine nitric oxide synthase 3, endothelial cell Mus musculus
