AMPK: The Energy Guardian

This chapter explores the critical role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) as a cellular energy sensor during exercise and its effects on muscular endurance. The discussion emphasizes the intricate balance of ATP and ADP ratios, the significance of glycogen in energy storage, and the interactions of AMPK subunits. The speakers also reflect on past research and the evolution of scientific understanding regarding AMPK and its relationship to exercise physiology.
