There are billions of cells in the human body and within those cells are certain components that ensure that every part of your body functions to the best of its abilities. One such component found in cells is called the AMPK enzyme.
For most people, the AMPK enzyme is completely new territory but there have been countless studies on its purpose. For one, scientists discovered that this enzyme, unlike others, needs manual activation.
AMPK stands for AMPK Activated Protein Kinase. Its primary purpose is to help manage your body’s energy stores, regulating energy consumption and usage.
It is not an enzyme found in the digestive tract, as most other enzymes are. It is actually produced by different organs like the brain, liver, and human tissues. You will also find it embedded in muscle and fat cells.
There are different benefits to having well-activated AMPK enzymes. For one, it helps boost weight loss efforts by enhancing your metabolic levels. Since it can be found in the brain, it helps the hypothalamus better sense your level of food consumption and energy expulsion. In doing so, you get the most benefit from your diets and workouts. No energy source goes to waste by being stored in the body (later turning into unwanted fat).
The AMPK enzyme also helps produce sugars but it can also help burn them. Every person needs glucose in their system in order to function. Without it, your brain activity will significantly be hindered. The problem with the body being inefficient in processing sugars is that aside from promoting excess fat storage, this can also lead to issues like diabetes.
The thing about diabetes, caused by hypoglycemia or having too much glucose in the body, is that it inadvertently activates the enzyme as it poses a threat to the system. It signals the brain of an extreme condition causing the AMPK to respond accordingly.
It is also an excellent fat-burning element. When properly activated, the enzyme has the ability to help reduce the body’s production of fatty acids. It also works by hindering the rise in triglycerides and cholesterol, working against them and stimulating the breakdown of fats. This is why it is able to help people get the most from their workouts promoting weight loss over time.
Unbeknownst to most people, what you have here is also something that has the capacity to boost cell rejuvenation. This is why the enzyme, when activated, is known to help people feel better, younger, and live longer. If there is a fountain of youth, this is its natural counterpart.
If you have trouble breathing then you will find the AMPK enzyme reliable when activated. This is because it also works by helping improve the delivery of oxygen throughout your body. In doing so, it actually protects your against any problems caused by your dysfunctional breathing. You can expect better quality sleep and an improved well-being over time with the help of the AMPK.
Those who are in the family way would also appreciate the fertility benefits that come with having activated AMPK enzymes in the body. This is possible because it also helps increase the production of sex hormones in both the male and female systems.
So, as you can see, there are plenty of benefits that come with a well-activated AMPK. This is why you should consider working to boost its function. Some of the easiest ways to activate the AMPK enzyme is through exercise or dieting. Remember that its activation is triggered when your body is faced by something that calls for drastic change or adaptation, like an initially restrictive health plan or intense exercise.
Has there been any control studies to determine the effect AMPK enzyme on the reduction of excess fat in the human system? If there has been such studies undertaken what were the results and where those results published? Thank you in advance. Thomas P. Caldwell, PhD
I don’t believe any major control studies have been undertaken yet. There are a few pharmaceuticals in development around AMPK and I would expect those control studies to happen over the next few years if the development continues.
Why doesn’t anyone ever get to the point???? It’s like asking someone for the time and they tell you how the clock works, an eventually you get the time.
AMPK, how can one activate it w/o all the hoopla?

It can be activated with various natural compounds, through intermittent fasting or exercise.
