Oral metformin transiently lowers post-prandial glucose response by reducing the apical expression of sodium-glucose co-transporter 1 in enterocytes
Summary: Metformin (MET) is the most prescribed antidiabetic drug, but its mechanisms of action remain elusive. Recent data point to the gut as MET’s primary target. Here, we explored the effect of MET on the gut glucose transport machinery. Using human enterocytes (Caco-2/TC7 cells) in vitro, we sh...
