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.

| "Metformin is an efficient curative and preventive treatment for sleep apnea, suggesting that insulin resistance modifies the ventilatory drive independently of obesity." | 1.34 | Sleep apnea is induced by a high-fat diet and reversed and prevented by metformin in non-obese rats. ( Delanaud, S; Dewasmes, G; Geloen, A; Libert, JP; Petitjean, M; Ramadan, W; Wiernsperger, N, 2007) |
| "Metformin treatment, known to reduce insulin resistance, got sleep apnea scores back to their basic levels, reinforcing the idea that insulin resistance is a major factor in the occurrence of apneas in this rat model." | 1.33 | Effect of high-fat diet and metformin treatment on ventilation and sleep apnea in non-obese rats. ( Delanaud, S; Dewasmes, G; Geloen, A; Gros, F; Loos, N; Petitjean, M; Ramadan, W; Vardon, G, 2006) |
