Proposed model of increased AMPK activity during prolonged wakefulness. Prolonged wakefulness such as sleep deprivation activates central AMPK via decreased AMP/ATP ratio or increased CaMkk2 expression. An activation of AMPK enhances energy-producing catabolic pathways and attenuates energy-consuming anabolic pathways.
