1 In a PAN-NET cell line, metformin did not affect Akt phosphorylation; conversely, it significantly decreased Akt phosphorylation in a PNT cell line. Metformin AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Using everolimus-resistant NET cells, we confirmed that metformin maintained its effects, acting by two different pathways: Akt-dependent or independent, depending on the cell type, with both leading to mTOR suppression. Metformin AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
