- Extra Details:
- Metformin Hydrochloride is a widely used antidiabetic agent that improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood glucose levels. In neuroscience, Metformin has emerged as a promising neuroprotective compound. It activates the LKB1-AMPK pathway, which inhibits mTORC1 and promotes autophagy-a key mechanism for clearing misfolded proteins and damaged organelles in neurons. Metformin has been shown to reduce alpha-synuclein phosphorylation and aggregation, making it relevant in Parkinson's disease research. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, contributing to its potential in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. Metformin's ability to modulate energy metabolism and cellular stress responses positions it as a candidate for therapeutic repurposing in brain aging and neurodegeneration.
