A role for the energy sensor AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its downstream effector uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) in the stimulatory effect of exogenous ghrelin on NPY/AgRP expression and food intake has been suggested

:
In addition, knockdown of PFKFB3/iPFK2 in N-43/5 neurons caused a decrease in rates of glycolysis, which was accompanied by increased AMPK phosphorylation, increased AgRP mRNA levels and decreased CART mRNA levels
