528,529 Metformin, a traditional diabetes drug, upregulated the expression of mitophagy genes, such as PINK , Parkin , and Mfn2 , while at the same time effectively reducing damaged mitochondria after administration, indicating a great potential of metformin as a mitophagy activator
206 In addition, expression of the mitochondrial isoform of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, involved in gluconeogenesis from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol and glucogenic amino acids, was significantly increased, 499 indicating an elevated demand for free glucose through enhancing astrocytic glucose metabolism in GDI1 -null mice
