Mild electrical stimulation increases stress resistance and suppresses fat accumulation via activation of LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway in C. elegans.

Mild electrical stimulation increases stress resistance and suppresses fat accumulation via activation of LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway in C. elegans.

Electrical current at physiological strength has been applied as a therapeutic approach for various diseases. Several of our works showed that mild electrical stimulation (MES) at 0.1-ms pulse width has positive impact on organisms. But despite the growing evidence of the beneficial effects of MES,...
