“…Adenosine monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a crucial cellular energy sensor that is activated by changes in physiological conditions mediated by metabolic hormones, different cell stress conditions, and also pharmacological molecules (Carling, ; Hardie, Schaffer, & Brunet, ). Once activated, AMPK promotes changes in energy levels (Hardie, Ross, & Hawley, ; Qiu et al, ), or a shift in glucose metabolism toward lactate metabolism in tumors and MCT1+/− mice (Carneiro et al, ; Faubert et al, ; Lage, Dieguez, Vidal‐Puig, & Lopez, ). Furthermore, our recent study suggested that AMPK acts as a negative regulator of hyperthermia‐induced lactate secretion by decreasing the expression levels of GLUT3 , LDHA , and MCT1 in cultured boar SCs (Yu et al, ).…”
