“Furthermore, we wanted to explore if glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1), isosteviol (ISV) and 5‐aminoimidazole‐4‐carboxamide 1‐β‐d‐ribofuranoside (AICAR) counteract changes in α‐cell function induced by chronic exposure to leucine.”

“ AICAR also prevented the hyperphosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E binding protein (4E-BP1), ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K1), S6, and eIF4G in response to leucine , suggesting a decrease in mTOR activity.”
“Applying 5-aminoimidazole-4-carbox-amide 1-beta-d-ribonucleoside , an activator of AMPK, abolished the stimulation of mTOR signaling by leucine , showing that AMPK negatively controls mTOR signaling.”
