Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Metformin is one of the most widely prescribed and extensively studied medications in modern medicine. For decades, it has played a central role in the management of type 2 diabetes, while also serving as a focal point for ongoing research into metabolism, insulin resistance, cardiovascular health, and cellular energy regulation. Metformin Explained provides a clear, evidence-based exploration of the science behind this landmark medication. Written in an accessible yet academically rigorous style, this book translates complex pharmacology and endocrinology into practical knowledge for students, healthcare learners, and scientifically curious readers. Beginning with the foundations of glucose metabolism and insulin signaling, the book examines how metformin interacts with the body's metabolic pathways, including its effects on hepatic glucose production, insulin sensitivity, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and cellular energy balance. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms that have made metformin a cornerstone of modern diabetes care. This educational reference also explores FDA-approved uses, pharmacokinetics, safety considerations, adverse effects, and special population considerations through the lens of current scientific evidence. Complex topics such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular research, vitamin B12 considerations, and lactic acidosis are presented with clarity, accuracy, and appropriate clinical context.Inside this book, you'll discover: The history and development of metformin and the biguanide drug class How glucose regulation and insulin signaling function in the human body The biological foundations of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes The pharmacologic mechanisms that influence blood sugar regulation AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and cellular energy pathways explained Pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, and formulation considerations FDA-approved uses and evidence-based clinical applications Safety considerations, adverse effects, and contraindication principles Research perspectives on cardiovascular and metabolic health Emerging scientific investigations and future directions in metabolic medicine Whether you are a pharmacy student, nursing student, healthcare professional, medical learner, researcher, or an informed reader seeking a deeper understanding of metabolic pharmacology, \*\*Metformin Explained\*\* offers a balanced, research-focused guide grounded in scientific evidence rather than speculation.
