Opposing activity changes in AMP deaminase and AMP-activated protein kinase in the hibernating ground squirrel.

Hibernating animals develop fatty liver when active in summertime and undergo a switch to a fat oxidation state in the winter. We hypothesized that this switch might be determined by AMP and the dominance of opposing effects: metabolism through AMP deaminase (AMPD2) (summer) and activation of AMP-ac...
