Abstract excerpt
Metformin, a widely prescribed treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), demonstrates significant inter-individual variability in its therapeutic response. This variability is potentially driven by genetic differences in drug transporters. Among these transporters, the organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) plays a critical role in the pharmacokinetics of metformin by mediating its uptake into renal epithelial...
