About AICAR
Converted intracellularly to ZMP, a potent AMPK activator. AMPK activation increases fatty acid oxidation, glucose uptake, and mitochondrial biogenesis — the same metabolic pathways activated by sustained aerobic exercise.
About Pramlintide
Synthetic amylin analogue; activates amylin receptors in hypothalamus; slows gastric emptying, suppresses glucagon, enhances satiety
