Early-fasting mimetics may protect the heart by burning glutamine supplied by muscle
Where this hypothesis actsLysosomal signaling under an early-fasting mimetic
What is proposedActivate lysosomal AMPK to initiate the early-fasting signal
With whatSmall molecule
HowUse aldometanib as the proposed mimetic
Possible resultPossible support of target-tissue function through glutamine oxidation
