Impact of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase α1 Deficiency on Tissue Injury following Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction.

AMP-activated protein kinase (Ampk) is a sensor of the cellular energy status and a powerful regulator of metabolism. Activation of Ampk was previously shown to participate in monocyte-to-fibroblast transition and matrix protein production in renal tissue. Thus, the present study explored whether th...
