Ischemia is associated with an increase in concentrations of AMP. What role does AMP play in shifting energy production from oxidative metabolism to glycolysis? Please be specific and include any glycolytic enzyme(s) involved. Of note, AMP induces an enzyme AMP Kinase (AMPK) which is involved in metabolic alterations during ischemia. We will learn about AMPK in Lecture 11 and you are not expected to discuss it in this problem. Please discuss another role(s) that AMP plays. Please be brief.
