metformin and Retinal Diseases

metformin has been researched along with Retinal Diseases 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.

Retinal Diseases: Diseases involving the RETINA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Adolescents with type 1 diabetes have early macrovascular changes (increased intima-media thickness [IMT]) and early retinal changes that predict clinical disease in adulthood."2.87Early atherosclerosis is associated with retinal microvascular changes in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. ( Anderson, J; Couper, JJ; Gent, R; Giles, LC; Liew, G; Peña, AS; Wong, TY, 2018)
" In vivo, metformin treatment significantly increased the number of surviving RGCs, the b/NR wave amplitude and the thickness of the inner retina but had no obvious adverse effects on the fundus."1.72Regulation of mitophagy by metformin improves the structure and function of retinal ganglion cells following excitotoxicity-induced retinal injury. ( Hu, FY; Liu, HL; Wu, JH; Xu, P, 2022)
