Berberine seems to produce most of its benefits through acting on high-level controllers of energy homeostasis, including the enzymes adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), protein kinase c (PKC), and sirtuin 1 (SIRT 1), all of which regulate biological processes related to metabolism, immunity, and inflammation.[1]
