Hypoxia and hyperglycaemia determine why some endometrial tumours fail to respond to metformin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
High expression of Ki67, a proliferation marker, is associated with reduced endometrial cancer-specific survival. Pre-surgical metformin reduces tumour Ki-67 expression in some women with endometrial cancer. Metformin's anti-cancer activity may relate to

Metformin and Insulin Resistance: A Review of the Underlying Mechanisms behind Changes in GLUT4-Mediated Glucose Transport

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Metformin is the most commonly used treatment to increase insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant (IR) conditions such as diabetes, prediabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, and obesity. There is a well-documented correlation between glucose transporter 4

Adenosine-mono-phosphate-activated protein kinase-independent effects of metformin in T cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The anti-diabetic drug metformin regulates T-cell responses to immune activation and is proposed to function by regulating the energy-stress-sensing adenosine-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK).

Increasing metformin concentrations and its excretion in both rat and porcine ex vivo normothermic kidney perfusion model

open access: yesBMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, 2020
Introduction Metformin can accumulate and cause lactic acidosis in patients with renal insufficiency. Metformin is known to inhibit mitochondria, while renal secretion of the drug by proximal tubules indirectly requires energy.

Metformin and Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesThe Review of Diabetic Studies, 2013
Metformin is well-known as an anti-diabetic drug, but it seems to possess anti-cancerous properties as well. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a highly conserved regulator of the cellular response to the presence of low energy in all eukaryotic cells.
