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.

Anti-Atherogenic Effects of Orlistat on Obesity-Induced Vascular Oxidative Stress Rat Model

Zaidatul Akmal Othman et al.

Summary: The study investigated the anti-atherosclerotic effect of orlistat on obesity-induced vascular oxidative stress in male rats. Orlistat treatment significantly improved lipid profiles, increased antioxidant enzymes, and decreased pro-inflammatory markers expressions, suggesting its therapeutic effect in attenuating the progression of atherosclerosis in obesity.

Metal Complex Formation and Anticancer Activity of Cu(I) and Cu(II) Complexes with Metformin

Sherin Abdelrahman et al.

Summary: Metformin forms stable complexes with copper ions, leading to enhanced antiproliferative effect in cancer cells. It reduces cell number and viability in SW1222 and K562 cells, as well as in K562-200 multidrug-resistant cells. Additionally, metformin has been noted to have lower cancer incidence in diabetic patients.

Undercover Toxic Menage a Trois of Amylin, Copper (II) and Metformin in Human Embryonic Kidney Cells

Terenzio Congiu et al.

Summary: The study shows that binary metformin/amylin and tertiary copper (II)/amylin/metformin complexes with high cellular toxicity are formed and lead to the formation of aggregated multi-level lamellar structures on the cell membrane. The increased concentration of amylin, copper (II) and metformin in kidneys of T2DM patients may be correlated with the development of diabetic nephropathy.
