Metformin
Metformin (1,1-Dimethylbiguanide) is a blood-brain barrier permeable AMPK activator used in type 2 diabetes research. It improves glycemic control by enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing intestinal glucose absorption. This compound is widely applied in metabolic disease studies, including in vitro mechanistic investigations and in vivo animal models.
