Variation in the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT, encoded in <i>SLC29A4</i> ) and organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1, encoded in <i>SLC22A1</i> ) and gastrointestinal intolerance to metformin in type 2 diabetes: an IMI DIRECT study
2018-10-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objectives</h4> 20-30% of patients with metformin treated type 2 diabetes experience gastrointestinal side effects leading to premature discontinuation in 5-10% of the cases. Gastrointestinal intolerance may reflect localised high concentrations of metformin in the gut. We hypothesized that reduced transport of metformin into the circulation via the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) and organic cat...
