Areas of Research
- Metabolic Regulation β studied for AMPK activation and effects on glucose and fatty-acid metabolism in cell and animal models.
- Insulin Sensitivity β investigated in models of diet-induced insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction.
- Exercise Physiology β examined for effects on endurance, physical capacity, and skeletal-muscle metabolism.
- Aging & Longevity β studied as a mitochondrial signaling factor in age-related metabolic decline.
- Mitochondrial Biology β used to investigate mitochondrial-to-nuclear communication and cellular stress adaptation.
Product Care & Storage
- All products are shipped lyophilized, which keeps them stable for shipping for up to 3–4 months. Products must be reconstituted to a liquid by mixing with bacteriostatic water for research and testing.
- Lyophilized / powder form β Store in a cool, dry place away from light; stable at room temperature for several weeks. For long-term storage (months to years), freezing is optimal.
- Reconstituted form β Refrigerate under 39°F; remains stable for up to 30 days.
- Usage β We are unable to provide any dosing instructions; however, all products should be considered pharmaceutical grade.
