metformin and Amyloid Deposits

metformin has been researched along with Amyloid Deposits in 8 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Metformin is a biguanide and the most commonly prescribed medication for type 2 diabetes Due to its pleiotropic properties, metformin's potential disease-modifying effects are widely studied on different pathophysiological plyers of AD such as amyloid-β (Aβ) production and clearance, tau phosphorylation, and neuroinflammation, in relevant in vitro and in vivo models."2.82Metformin in Alzheimer's disease: An overview of potential mechanisms, preclinical and clinical findings. ( Ghasemnejad-Berenji, M; Hodaei, D; Khezri, MR; Mahboubi, N; Yousefi, K, 2022)
"Metformin was administrated in the drinking water for 2 months."1.62Metformin attenuates plaque-associated tau pathology and reduces amyloid-β burden in APP/PS1 mice. ( Chen, Y; Fan, Z; Li, K; Li, Z; Liu, Z; Shen, T; Tian, J; Yan, Y; Zhang, B; Zhao, S; Zhu, Y, 2021)
"Metformin is a biguanide antihyperglycemic drug used worldwide for the treatment of type 2 diabetes."1.62Metformin prevents p-tau and amyloid plaque deposition and memory impairment in diabetic mice. ( Araújo, SMR; Braga, CF; Duarte-Silva, E; França, MR; Lós, DB; Oliveira, WH; Peixoto, CA; Rocha, SWS; Rodrigues, GB, 2021)
"Metformin has been reported to have anti-inflammatory efficacy."1.48Metformin treatment prevents amyloid plaque deposition and memory impairment in APP/PS1 mice. ( Gong, Z; He, X; Huang, J; Kong, X; Li, J; Li, Q; Long, D; Ou, Z; Sun, X; Xu, B; Xu, L; Xuan, A; Zhang, L, 2018)
"Metformin treatment alone or with sitagliptin decreased islet amyloid deposition to a similar extent vs untreated mice."1.39One year of sitagliptin treatment protects against islet amyloid-associated β-cell loss and does not induce pancreatitis or pancreatic neoplasia in mice. ( Aston-Mourney, K; Goldstein, LC; Hull, RL; Meier, DT; Samarasekera, T; Subramanian, SL; Zraika, S, 2013)
"Diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD)."1.38Metformin attenuates Alzheimer's disease-like neuropathology in obese, leptin-resistant mice. ( Deng, J; Li, J; Sheng, W; Zuo, Z, 2012)
