## Abstract We found that adenosine 5โฒโmonophosphateโactivated protein kinase (AMPK), which is considered the โfuel sensorโ of mammalian cells because it directly responds to the depletion of the fuel molecule ATP, is strongly activated by tumorโlike hypoxia and glucose deprivation. We also observe
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
