Metformin is an antidiabetic agent that reduces blood glucose levels and improves insulin sensitivity. Its metabolic effects, including the inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesis, are mediated at least in part by activation of the LKB1-AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) pathway. Activation of this pathway also appears to be involved in the antiproliferative and proapoptotic actions of metformin in cancer cell lines.

Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences, 808(2), 215-219 (2004-07-21)
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

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

To determine whether metformin is excreted into breast milk and whether this exposure adversely affects the blood glucose of nursing infants. Seven women were started on metformin 500 mg twice daily on the first day after cesarean delivery. Breastfeeding was
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

Both insulin and metformin have been shown to attenuate hyperglycemia and reduce net muscle protein catabolism following burn injury. The purpose of this study was to compare the peripheral metabolic effects of insulin and metformin in severe burn patients. Six
