Skeletal muscle plays a pivotal role in regulating systemic glucose homeostasis in part through the conserved cellular energy sensor AMPK. AMPK activation increases glucose uptake, lipid oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis, leading to enhanced muscle insulin sensitivity and whole-body energy metabolism. Here we show that the muscle-enriched H19 long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) acts to enhance muscle insulin sensitivity, at least in part, by activating AMPK. We identify the atypical dual-specifici ...[more]
