Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Metformin Action

Traci E. LaMoia et al.

Summary: Metformin is a commonly used first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes, mainly acting through inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesis to lower blood glucose levels. Despite controversy over its mechanism of action, recent studies have supported a redox-dependent mechanism.

Metformin Benefits: Another Example for Alternative Energy Substrate Mechanism?

Andrea Giaccari et al.

Summary: Metformin, considered the first-line medication for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients, may protect from diabetic and non-diabetic comorbidities by increasing lactate production and oxidation, thereby potentially exerting a protective effect on the heart, kidneys, brain, and antineoplastic action.

Metformin and cancer-specific survival among breast, colorectal, or endometrial cancer patients: A nationwide data linkage study

Jia-Li Feng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between metformin and cancer-specific survival, finding that higher adherence to metformin was associated with lower cancer-specific mortality. The results suggest that metformin could be considered as an adjuvant treatment for reducing cancer-specific mortality among patients with breast, colorectal, or endometrial cancer.

Summary: This study found that metformin was not associated with an elevated risk of lactic acidosis in patients with CKD stage 1-2, but was associated with a progressively higher risk in patients with CKD stage 3a-5.
