1 Metformin reduces C-reactive protein but not complement factor C3 in overweight patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
2 AIMS: To determine the influence of metformin treatment on plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) and complement factor C3. Metformin C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
3 AIMS: To determine the influence of metformin treatment on plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) and complement factor C3. Metformin C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
4 The difference in ratios of CRP levels at each visit to baseline between placebo- (n = 16) and metformin-treated (n = 26) subjects was significantly different at the 12-week (P = 0.002) and 24-week (P = 0.03) visits. Metformin C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSION: Metformin may have a specific interaction with mechanisms involved in CRP synthesis or secretion, not directly related to improved insulin sensitivity and dampening of chronic inflammation. Metformin C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
