Mammalian AMP-activated protein kinase is the central component of a protein kinase cascade which inactivates three key enzymes involvcd in the synthesis or release of free fatty acids and cholesterol inside the cell. The kinase cascade is activated by elevation of AMP, and perhaps also by fatty aci

## Abstract The AMP‐activated protein kinase cascade is a sensor of cellular energy charge, and its existence provides strong support for the energy charge hypothesis first proposed by Daniel Atkinson in the 1960s. The system is activated in an ultrasensitive manner by cellular stresses that deplet
## Abstract 8‐Cl‐cAMP (8‐chloro‐cyclic AMP), which induces differentiation, growth inhibition and apoptosis in various cancer cells, has been investigated as a putative anti‐cancer drug. Although we reported that 8‐Cl‐cAMP induces growth inhibition via p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) an
