Importance of AMPK in metformin suppression of liver glucose production
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Metformin is now the most widely prescribed oral anti-diabetic agent worldwide, taken by over 150 million people annually. Although metformin has been used clinically to treat type 2 diabetes for over 60 years. Its mechanism of action remains only partially understood and controversial. In particular, this includes whether AMPK plays a role in metformin suppression of liver glucose production. To address this issue, we knocked out the AMPK catalytic alpha1 and alpha 2 subunits in the liver of HFD-fed adult homozygous mice. These mice were treated with a physiological relevent metformin dose (50 mg/kg/day) for 3 weeks. Liver samples were collected.
