Reduced skeletal muscle AMPK and mitochondrial markers do not promote age-induced insulin resistance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In both rodents and humans, aging-associated reductions in skeletal muscle AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity and mitochondrial function have been linked to the development of skeletal muscle insulin resistance. However, whether reductions in skeletal muscle AMPK and mitochondrial capacity actually precipitate the development of aging-induced insulin resistance is not known. Mice lacking both isoforms of the AMPK β-subunit in skeletal muscle (AMPK-MKO) have no detectable AMPK activity and are characterized by large reductions in exercise capacity, mitochondrial content, and contraction-stimulated glucose uptake making them an ideal model to determine whether reductions in AMPK and mitochondrial content promote the development of aging-induced insulin resistance. In the current study we find that a lack of skeletal muscle AMPK results in a life-long reduction in mitochondrial activity but does not affect body mass, body composition, glucose tolerance, or insulin sensitivity as measured by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in mice of old age (18 mo). These data demonstrate that reductions in skeletal muscle AMPK and mitochondrial activity do not cause the development of age-induced insulin resistance.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
