AMPK enhances your metabolism is by stimulating the creation of more mitochondria, a process called mitochondrial biogenesis.

This drop in cellular ATP triggers an enzyme called AMP deaminase, or AMPD, which is sort of like the evil twin to AMPK, the reverse–fuel gauge enzyme that we discussed in the previous chapter. When AMPK is activated, it triggers all sorts of cellular survival programs, including the burning of stored fat, that help enable the organism to survive
