1 | We explored whether chlorogenic acid and its metabolite, caffeic acid, act directly on skeletal muscle to stimulate 5"-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). | caffeic acid | protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1 | Rattus norvegicus |
2 | Incubation of rat epitrochlearis muscles with Krebs buffer containing caffeic acid (>=0.1 mM, >=30 min) but not chlorogenic acid increased the phosphorylation of AMPKalpha Thr(172), an essential step for kinase activation, and acetyl CoA carboxylase Ser(79), a downstream target of AMPK, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. | caffeic acid | protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1 | Rattus norvegicus |
3 | These results suggest that caffeic acid but not chlorogenic acid acutely stimulates skeletal muscle AMPK activity and insulin-independent glucose transport with a reduction of the intracellular energy status. | caffeic acid | protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1 | Rattus norvegicus |
