AICAR
AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is an AMPK activator that has gained attention as an exercise mimetic. Research has shown it can activate similar pathways to physical exercise without requiring actual training. Studies have explored its effects on glucose uptake, fat oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis.
