Metformin, the first line drug for Type 2 diabetes, has been used for 60 years without a clearcut mechanism of action. It turns out it's not just reducing glucose output from the liver. Metformin also works via the brain www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Low-dose metformin requires brain Rap1 for its antidiabetic action
Metformin lowers blood glucose by inhibiting Rap1 in ventromedial hypothalamic neurons that regulate glucose balance.

I went to the 1st Tenovus Symposium in St Andrews last night and it was great to see all the exciting research funded by Tenovus! Thankful to them for giving me PhD studentship funding and my first funding post-fellowship! No longer a lab of one 😁🥳
