In this video, we’re going to talk about a powerful mitochondrial protector called AMPK. AMPK stands for 5’adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase. AMPK is known as the guardian of your metabolism. It’s the central regulator of energy homeostasis. Homeostasis is your body’s ability to adapt to the external environment. For example, if you’re running up a flight of stairs, your pulse rate will increase to adjust for the need for oxygen in your brain, so you don’t pass out. AMPK is an enzyme that adapts to things that deplete your cellular energy. This enzyme senses a drop in energy (ATP) and adapts the mitochondria, helping
