1 Neuroprotective effects of metformin on traumatic brain injury in rats is associated with the AMP-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 Metformin is an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 Metformin is an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
4 Furthermore, the p-AMPK/AMPK ratio was increased by metformin administration compare to TBI or Vehicle groups (p < 0.0001). Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
5 Furthermore, the p-AMPK/AMPK ratio was increased by metformin administration compare to TBI or Vehicle groups (p < 0.0001). Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
6 Inhibition of AMPK by compound C abolished Metformin neuroprotective effects (P < 0.05 compared to Met 200 group). Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
7 This study suggests that metformin inhibits TBI-mediated secondary injury via phosphorylation of AMPK and improves neurobehavioral function following TBI, which provides a potential therapeutic opportunity in the treatment of TBI. Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
