Which is a likely outcome following an increase in cellular AMP levels?

a. More than one of the choices listed

b. Increased glucose uptake

c. Increased fatty acid synthesis

d. Increased fatty acid oxidation

e. None of the choices listed

Solution

a. More than one of the choices listed

Increased cellular AMP levels increase the glucose uptake to promote the ATP production. In the absence of readily available glucose, fatty acid oxidation is favoured.
