Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.180 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our observations raise the question of whether metformin treatment could reduce oxidative stress and act as an ER stress modulator in T2D patients by promoting an adaptive unfolded protein response (s-xbp1 and p-eIF2α) in their leukocytes; this was in contrast with nonmetformin-treated patients whose response could be driven by the ATF6-dependent pro-apoptotic pathway. 29061071 2018
