A new drug candidate may activate the same metabolic pathway that exercise uses to pull glucose into muscle—even without relying on insulin.
The molecule, ATX-304, activates AMPK, your cells' energy sensor. In preclinical studies, it normalized blood sugar in models of type 1 diabetes, improved endurance, and helped protect against obesity. It's now in Phase 2 human clinical trials.
For more see the details in the deep dive linked above.
