AICAR is a research nucleoside rather than a peptide. Within cells, it can be converted to ZMP, an AMP mimetic used to investigate AMPK and other metabolic pathways. Mouse research has reported changes in oxidative metabolism and running endurance. These findings concern animal physiology rather than established human athletic benefits.
Key research interests
• AMPK and cellular energy sensing
• Skeletal muscle metabolism
• Endurance in animal models
Not for human or veterinary use
