    Product Description

    O-304 is a pan-activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).1 It increases levels of phosphorylated AMPK (pAMPK) without reducing cellular ATP. O-304 suppresses dephosphorylation of AMPKα, AMPKβ, and AMPKγ trimers at threonine 172 (T172) mediated by protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) without inhibiting PP2C activity in Wi-38 lung fibroblasts. In vivo, O-304 (100 mg/kg) prevents high-fat diet-induced increases in fasted glucose and plasma insulin levels and development of insulin resistance, as well as increases calf muscle pAMPK levels in mice.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
