Abstract
AMP-activated protein kianse (AMPK) is a master sensor of cellular energy levels and a crucial regulator of nutrient metabolism such as the synthesis of fatty acids, glucose and protein as well as their oxidation to CO2 and water . Thus, AMPK signaling has important implications for fat deposition and glucose homeostasis in animals and humans. Much experimental and clinical evidence show that AMPK is a key therapeutic target for the prevention of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, inflammation and cardiac dysfunction. In this review we highlight recent advances on the upstream and downstream targets of AMPK, as well as the specific mechanisms whereby AMPK regulates digestive functions and chronic energy balance in animals and humans.
Keywords: AMPK, glucose, lipid, protein, regulation.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
