AICAR

AICAR Peptide – Research on Metabolism, Energy Management, and Endurance

AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a synthetic nucleotide that is extensively researched for its effect on the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This pathway plays an essential role in regulating energy balance, glucose uptake, and fat burning.

Researchers often choose to buy AICAR as an experimental tool in studies on endurance, insulin response, and metabolic research. The unique action of AICAR on the AMPK pathway makes it an interesting molecule in research on energy management and metabolism.

Why choose AICAR from Nitro Peptides?

Our AICAR is delivered in laboratory purity and comes with an independent test report (COA). Includes free accessories such as bac-water, alcohol wipes, and needles for direct use in laboratory research.

Important properties of AICAR

• Activates AMPK: supports energy metabolism and fat burning
• Researched for endurance and physical performance
• Potential effect on insulin sensitivity and glucose processing
• Applied in studies on obesity, diabetes, and muscle metabolism
• Popular in biohacking and performance-oriented research
• Interesting for mitochondrial research and cell energetics

Functioning of AICAR according to current research

AICAR functions as an analog of AMP and activates the enzyme AMPK, leading to increased fatty acid oxidation, improved glucose uptake, and inhibited lipogenesis. In preclinical research, AICAR is extensively used to study metabolic pathways and training adaptations.

Additionally, AICAR is applied in experimental models aimed at simulating the metabolic syndrome, energy management, and the insulin response.
