“Collectively, the findings suggest that AICAR acutely promotes muscle glucose uptake in healthy horses and thus its therapeutic potential for managing IR requires investigation.”

“Plasma [K(+)] and glucose ] both dropped at 1 h of AICAR infusion and [K(+)] dropped to 3.3 +/- 0.04 mM by 3 h, linearly related to the increase in muscle AMPK phosphorylation.”

“ AICAR inhibited ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels and increased the frequency of glucose-induced calcium oscillations in islets incubated in 8-14 mM glucose.”

“Thus, intraportal AICAR infusion caused marked stimulation of both hepatic glucose output and net hepatic glycogenolysis, even in the presence of high levels of physiological insulin.”
“ AICAR decreased plasma levels of glucose (approximately 25%), insulin (approximately 60%), and FAs (approximately 30%) at various times over the next 46 min (P < 0.05 vs. controls).”
