Renal hyperfiltration and albuminuria have a deleterious effect on kidney function. Therefore, we studied the effect of metformin on blood pressure, renal hemodynamics, and microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients. A clinical trial was designed in type 2 diabetic patients
Metformin is an effective hypoglycemic drug that lowers blood glucose concentrations by decreasing hepatic glucose production and increasing glucose disposal in skeletal muscle; however, the molecular site of metformin action is not well understood. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity increases

Metformin, a biguanide antihyperglycemic drug, has been shown to improve ovarian function and glucose metabolism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but results concerning its effects on insulin sensitivity are controversial. Oral contraceptive pills are commonly used in the
The antidiabetic biguanide metformin has been shown to increase faecal excretion of bile salts in type 2 diabetes. Cultured human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers provide a model of human enterocytes. These monolayers are used here to determine the effect of

A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS-MS) method for the determination of metformin in human plasma using phenformin as internal standard has been developed and validated. Sample preparation of plasma involved acidification with acetic acid, deproteination with acetonitrile
