1 | BACKGROUND: Metformin, a standard therapy in type 2 diabetes, reduces vitamin B12 levels. | Metformin | NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 | Homo sapiens |
2 | RESULTS: The prevalence rates of vitamin B12 deficiency (<191 ng/L) were 27% and 12% in Europeans and Indians, respectively and higher in metformin treated type 2 diabetes patients. | Metformin | NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 | Homo sapiens |
