The molecular mechanism of metformin is not completely understood. Multiple potential mechanisms of action have been proposed: inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain ([[complex I]]), activation of [[AMP-activated protein kinase]] (AMPK), inhibition of glucagon-induced elevation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) with reduced activation of [[protein kinase A]] (PKA), [[complex IV]]–mediated inhibition of the GPD2 variant of mitochondrial [[glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase]] (thereby reducing glycerol-derived hepatic [[gluconeogenesis]]), and an effect on gut microbiota.<ref name="a23">PMID:35238637</ref><ref name="a99">PMID:23835523</ref><ref name="a100">PMID:23840042</ref><ref name="a101">PMID:24847880</ref> | The molecular mechanism of metformin is not completely understood.
