AMPK has emerged as an important integrator of signals that control energy balance through the
regulation of multiple biochemical pathways in eukaryotes. This book focuses on the
implications of AMPK as a master metabolic regulator in diseases including new methods and
animal models. The contributions are written by leading experts in the field and give an
extensive overview of the current knowledge of AMPK biology and the role of AMPK in health and
disease.
