metformin and Hepatitis

metformin has been researched along with Hepatitis in 9 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.

Hepatitis: INFLAMMATION of the LIVER.

" Inflammation and coagulation are closely associated pathological processes, therefore the potential effects of metformin on key steps in activation of the coagulation system were further investigated in endotoxic hepatitis induced by lipopolysaccharide/D‑galactosamine (LPS/D‑Gal)."7.81Metformin suppresses intrahepatic coagulation activation in mice with lipopolysaccharide/D‑galactosamine‑induced fulminant hepatitis.
