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
Their complimentary mechanisms of action suggest that a combination of pioglitazone hydrochloride and metformin may have clinically beneficial effects in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. This study was undertaken to assess the efficacy and tolerability of pioglitazone
The aim of this study was to characterize the milk-to-plasma ratio and infant dose for metformin in breastfeeding women, and to measure plasma concentrations and assess any effects in their infants. We hypothesized that metformin used by mothers is safe

Hepatic glycogen is replenished during the absorptive period postprandially. This repletion is prompted partly by an increased hepatic uptake of glucose by the liver, partly by metabolite and hormonal signals in the portal vein, and partly by an increased gluconeogenic
