Abstract in brief

  • Metformin is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes by activating AMPK, which helps lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
  • In addition to managing blood glucose, research indicates that metformin has other benefits, such as reducing oxidative stress, promoting cell cleanup (autophagy), and potentially extending lifespan.
  • These broader effects suggest that metformin could play a role in preventing or treating age-related diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cardiovascular issues, and osteoporosis, beyond its traditional use in diabetes management.]
