1 | We evaluated the effect of metformin (N,N-dimethylbiguanide), a biguanide known to be less toxic than phenformin, on insulin binding to its receptors, both in vitro and in vivo. | Metformin | insulin | Homo sapiens |
2 | We evaluated the effect of metformin (N,N-dimethylbiguanide), a biguanide known to be less toxic than phenformin, on insulin binding to its receptors, both in vitro and in vivo. | Metformin | insulin | Homo sapiens |
3 | Specific 125I-insulin binding to cultured IM-9 human lymphocytes and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was determined after preincubation with metformin. | Metformin | insulin | Homo sapiens |
4 | Metformin significantly increased insulin binding in vitro to both IM-9 lymphocytes and MCF-7 cells; the maximum increment was 47.1% and 38.0%, respectively. | Metformin | insulin | Homo sapiens |
5 | Metformin treatment significantly increased insulin binding in vivo to monocytes of obese subjects (+ 31%, P less than 0.05) and diabetic patients (+ 63%, P less than 0.01). | Metformin | insulin | Homo sapiens |
6 | These data indicate that metformin increases insulin binding to its receptors in vitro and in vivo. | Metformin | insulin | Homo sapiens |
