摘要
An important mechanism of action of metformin as an antidiabetic drug involves inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesis, but the molecular basis for this is controversial. A recent perspective (He and Wondisford, 2015) argued that direct action of the drug on AMPK is of key importance and occurs at clinically relevant concentrations of ∼70 μM. However, that review cited conflicting studies, which concluded either that AMPK-independent mechanisms are important in metformin action, or that AMPK activation plays a role but is secondary to energetic stress resulting from inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation by the drug.
