Phenformin’s impact on lifespan in <i>C. elegans</i> is resilient to environmental factors that inhibit metformin-induced longevity downstream of <i>skn-1/</i> Nrf and AMP-activated protein kinase

2023-09-21

Abstract excerpt

Despite being principally prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes, biguanides, especially metformin and phenformin, have been shown to extend lifespan and healthspan in preclinical models, and to reduce the impact of aging-associated diseases such as cancer. While there have been conflicting results in studies involving rodents and humans, consistent evidence from laboratories worldwide, including our own, indicates m...
