Differential effects of energy stress on AMPK phosphorylation and apoptosis in experimental brain tumor and normal brain
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a known physiological cellular energy sensor and becomes phosphorylated at Thr-172 in response to changes in cellular ATP levels. Activated AMPK acts as either an inducer or suppressor of apopto...
