metformin and Activated Protein C Resistance

metformin has been researched along with Activated Protein C Resistance in 1 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Activated Protein C Resistance: A hemostatic disorder characterized by a poor anticoagulant response to activated protein C (APC). The activated form of Factor V (Factor Va) is more slowly degraded by activated protein C. Factor V Leiden mutation (R506Q) is the most common cause of APC resistance.

"In women with polycystic ovary syndrome, C-reactive protein levels and D-dimer, antithrombin III, activated protein C resistance, and activated partial thromboplastin time were unaffected by metformin treatment throughout pregnancy."9.12Beneficial effect of metformin on pregnancy outcome in women with polycystic ovary syndrome is not associated with major changes in C-reactive protein levels or indices of coagulation.
