Description

AICAR – Metabolic & Endurance Research Compound

AICAR 50 mg (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) analog that activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)—a central regulator of cellular energy metabolism. Through this mechanism, AICAR enhances fatty acid oxidation, glucose uptake, and mitochondrial biogenesis, making it a key compound for research into metabolic regulation, endurance performance, and cellular energy balance.

AICAR is extensively used in studies on metabolic disorders, insulin sensitivity, obesity, and exercise physiology, as it mimics some of the cellular effects of physical exercise at the molecular level.

Key Features & Research Applications

⚡ AMPK Activation:
Directly activates AMPK, promoting energy homeostasis and mimicking exercise-induced metabolic responses.

💪 Endurance & Performance Research:
Enhances energy utilization and muscular endurance in preclinical models.

🧬 Metabolic Health:
Improves glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation, supporting studies related to diabetes and obesity.

❤️ Cardioprotective Effects:
Investigated for reducing ischemic injury and improving cardiac energy efficiency.

🧠 Neuroprotective Potential:
Research suggests roles in reducing oxidative stress and protecting neuronal function.
