Interaction Information:

Comment Given that acute and chronic metformin treatment increased the cytoplasmic redox state and decreased the mitochondrial redox state, the study considered that metformin may block one of the two main redox shuttle systems, the malate‚Äďaspartate and glycerophosphate shuttles. Guanides/biguanides did not alter the activity of purified, recombinant cytosolic glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (cGPD). In contrast, all guanides/biguanides inhibited mitochondrial GPD (mGPD) activity by30‚Äď50% in rat mitochondrial lysates.
