In this study, we described the effectiveness of metformin on Japanese type 2 diabetes patients receiving sulfonylureas and the clinical characteristics of the patients whose glycemic control were significantly improved with metformin administration. Our results showed that the reduction of glycohemoglobin (HbA1C), serum concentration of total cholesterol, and diastolic blood pressure was stati...
Metformin inhibits proinflammatory responses and nuclear factor-kappaB in human vascular wall cells.
OBJECTIVE Metformin may benefit the macrovascular complications of diabetes independently of its conventional hypoglycemic effects. Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammatory processes participate in type 2 diabetes and its atherothrombotic manifestations. Therefore, this study examined the potential action of metformin as an inhibitor of pro-inflammatory responses in human vascular smoot...
Objective: Metformin is an antidiabetic drug which is commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. The aim of the study was to determine whether metformin regulates hepatic gluconeogenesis through the orphan nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner (SHP; NR0B2). Research Design and Methods: We assessed the regulation of hepatic SHP gene expression by Northern blot analysis with metformin and adeno...
Prenatal androgenization (PNA) of female mice with dihydrotestosterone programs reproductive dysfunction in adulthood, characterized by elevated luteinizing hormone levels, irregular estrous cycles, and central abnormalities. Here, we evaluated activity of GnRH neurons from PNA mice and the effects of in vivo treatment with metformin, an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) that is ...
We investigated the effects of metformin and celecoxib on obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation, insulin resistance (IR), fatty liver, and high blood pressure in high-fat (HF) fed rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with either regular or HF diet for 8 weeks. Rats fed with regular diet were treated with vehicle for further 4 weeks. HF fed rats were divided into 6 groups, namely, vehic...
In mammals, IGFs are important for the proliferation and steroidogenesis of ovarian cells. Metformin is an insulin sensitizer molecule used for the treatment of the infertility of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. It is, however, unclear whether metformin acts on ovarian cells. Adenosine 5' monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved in metformin action in various cell types. ...
BACKGROUND Despite the common coexistence of diabetes and heart failure (HF), the optimal medial treatment of diabetes in HF patients has not been well studied. We sought to compare the association between metformin use and clinical outcomes in a cohort of ambulatory patients with diabetes and established HF. METHODS AND RESULTS Using propensity score-matched samples, we examined the associat...
Blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) disruption is a major process for the secondary injury of spinal cord injury (SCI) and is considered to be a therapeutic target for SCI. Previously, we demonstrated that metformin could improve functional recovery after SCI; however, the effect of metformin on BSCB is still unknown. In this study, we found that metformin could prevent the loss of tight junction ...
Metformin or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue liraglutide has cardiovascular benefits. However, it is not clear whether their combined treatment have additive or synergistic effects on the vasculature. In this study, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), exposed to palmitic acid (PA) to induce endothelial dysfunction, were incubated with metformin, liraglutide or their combin...
Metformin is an anti-diabetic drug with a promising anti-cancer potential. In this study, we show that subtoxic doses of metformin effectively sensitize human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), which induces apoptosis. Metformin alone did not induce apoptosis, but significantly potentiated TRAIL-induced apoptosis in CRC cells....
