Abstract |
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key enzyme involved in linking the energy sensing to metabolic pathways. As such, it plays a central role at the whole-body level to translate endocrine communications into adapted responses aimed either at saving energy when food is scarce or at allocating it to various functions, particularly reproduction, when food is available. AMPK also plays major roles in the energy individual cells use in order to realize their specific functions. This is of course especially true for all cells involved in the reproductive function (gonads, gametes) or in its control (hypothalamus, pituitary). In the present review, I report a survey of the various roles of AMPK functions in reproduction, either directly in reproductive organs, or indirectly in organs controlling reproduction, particularly at hypothalamus level.
