Scientists Find Popular Diabetes Drug Impacts the Brain in Surprising Study
With buzzy medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro making headlines for blood sugar management, it’s easy to forget that some medications have been helping patients with type 2 diabetes for decades. Metformin is a popular one. But while this medication has been around for more than 60 years, scientists are uncovering what it does to the brain.
New research published in the journal Science Advances identifies a brain pathway that metformin seems to work through (along with the impact it has on other areas of the body)
