5' AMP-activated protein kinase or AMPK or 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase is an enzyme (EC 2.7.11.31) that plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis, largely to activate glucose and fatty acid uptake and oxidation when cellular energy is low.
AMPK is a cellular energy sensor conserved in all eukaryotic cells. The kinase activity of AMPK is activated by the stimuli that increase the cellular AMP/ATP ratio. AMPK regulates the activities of a number of key metabolic enzymes through phosphorylation. It protects cells from stresses that cause ATP depletion by switching off ATP-consuming ...
Gairaigo are Japanese words originating from, or based on, foreign-language, generally Western, terms.These include wasei-eigo (Japanese pseudo-anglicisms).Many of these loanwords derive from Portuguese, due to Portugal's early role in Japanese-Western interaction; Dutch, due to the Netherlands' relationship with Japan amidst the isolationist policy of sakoku during the Edo period; and from ...
Low AMPK Levels: Every overweight or obese individual in the study demonstrated low AMPK activity, making it harder for their bodies to process carbs as fuel. High AMPK in Healthy Individuals : Conversely, participants with healthy body weights showed elevated AMPK function, leading to more efficient carb utilization, improved energy, and ...
The result, for a person reading modern Japanese, is that Daijirin is the most likely to list the intended meaning where it can be found easily. [4] The other two Daijirin advantages are semantically "more detailed" definitions and the "unusual, though not unprecedented" kanji and reverse-dictionary index. Baroni and Bialock describe Daijirin,
Ritualize Morning Matcha. In Japan, tea ceremonies have profound cultural significance. Called chanoyu, a traditional tea ceremony revolves around preparing and drinking matcha, emphasizing the ...
The STK11/LKB1 gene, which encodes a member of the serine/threonine kinase family, regulates cell polarity and functions as a tumour suppressor.. LKB1 is a primary upstream kinase of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (), a necessary element in cell metabolism that is required for maintaining energy homeostasis.
Since English loanwords are adopted into Japan intentionally (as opposed to diffusing "naturally" through language contact, etc.), the meaning often deviates from the original. When these loanwords become so deeply embedded in the Japanese lexicon, it leads to experimentation and re-fashioning of the words' meaning, thus resulting in wasei-eigo.
