Research has demonstrated that energy deprivation activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which inhibits milk production by targeting prolactin signaling and fatty acid metabolism.

Long-chain fatty acids produced during ketogenesis bind to adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which activates glucose and increases the uptake of fatty acids during low ...

These observations led to the discovery of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid synthase (FAS), the two key enzymes of fatty acid synthesis. His laboratory was the first to identify these ...
