Question

What is Metformin’s mechanism of action and how does it impact the rates of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?

Answer 1

Metformins work is to increase the sensation of glucose to wards insulin in the cells and to decrease the blood glucose level in the body .

It inhibit the gluconeogenesis to avoid excess of glucose in blood so the synthesis of glucose is inhibited .

It helps to effectively activate the areobic glycolysis thus help in utilisation of glucose efficiently to produce energy and help in cellular uptake of glucose .
