(Body Weight) :
Similar results were obtained by hypothalamic administration of ARA-A , a competitive inhibitor of AMPK Kanazawa et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2008
:
Supplementation of Ara-A ( 0.1mM ), a specific AMPK inhibitor , significantly reversed the metformin induced eNOS and BMP-2 expressions

(Starvation) :
Adenine 9-ß-D-arabinofuranoside ( Ara-A , an AMPK inhibitor ) and 5-amino-4-imidazole-carboxamide riboside ( AICAR, an AMPK activator ) were used to identify whether the AMPK/mTOR pathway was involved in FPS mediated cardioprotection
