Aicar

50 mg | Purity > 99.5%
AICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside) is an AMPK activator widely studied for its role in energy metabolism, fat oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis. It mimics exercise-induced metabolic effects and supports insulin sensitivity research. 
not a health supplement
not for oral consumption.

Description

AICAR is a synthetic adenosine analog that functions as an intracellular energy sensor modulator through AMPK pathway activation. In research models, it is used to study cellular energy homeostasis, where it mimics conditions of low energy availability and triggers adaptive metabolic responses without requiring physical exercise or caloric restriction.Its activity is associated with increased fatty acid oxidation, enhanced glucose uptake, and improved mitochondrial efficiency. By influencing AMPK signaling, it helps researchers examine how cells shift from energy storage to energy utilization states, particularly in skeletal muscle and hepatic tissue models.It is also explored in endurance and metabolic adaptation studies due to its effects on mitochondrial biogenesis and aerobic capacity. This makes it relevant for investigating cardiometabolic health, insulin sensitivity regulation, and exercise-mimetic energy signaling pathways in controlled laboratory environments.
