While the reduction of hepatic gluconeogenesis is thought to be a key effect, the detailed molecular mechanism of action of metformin remains to be elucidated. To gain insight into this, we performed a global gene expression profiling study.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>We performed DNA microarray analysis to study global gene expression in the livers of obese diabetic db/db mice 2 h after a single a ...[more]
