Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The SLC47A1 gene encodes the multi-drug and toxic excretion-1(MATE1) protein, which plays a key role in the transport and excretion of metformin. This study is to clarify the influence of variants in SLC47A1 (rs2289669 G→A) on metformin pharmacokinetics and the long-term glucose-lowering effect of metformin. METHODS: A total of 220 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients were recruited, genotyped and...
