Description:Applications An oral hypoglycemic agent. Slows electron transport in the oxidation pathway in mitochondria. Has been reported to reverse Lupus symptoms in mice in conjunction with 2-deoxy-d-glucose (D239000). Metformin is a well-known type 2 diabetes treatment. Research shows that metformin may inhibit tumor growth both directly and indirectly. Studies indicate that metformin modulates the biology of aging. Metformin blocks the conversion of select substrates into glucose in a redox-dependent manner.
