Metformin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes have normal mitochondrial complex I respiration

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelfagfællebedømt

The glucose-lowering drug metformin has been shown to inhibit complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain in skeletal muscle. To investigate this effect in vivo we studied skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity and content from patients with type 2 diabetes treated with metformin (n = 14) or sulfonylurea (n = 8) and healthy control (n = 18) participants.
