Describe the MOA of Metformin
What is not exactly known. However, it is thought to act primarily by reducing insulin resistance in the liver thereby gluconeogenesis is reduced. Metformin also improves insulin sensitivity by increasing uptake and utilization of glucose in peripheral tissues (muscle and fat cells). Additionally, metformin decreases intestinal absorption of glucose. Collectively, these activities help lower basal and postprandial glucose.
