Impact of Metformin on Exercise-Induced Metabolic Adaptations to Lower Type 2 Diabetes Risk

Steven K Malin et al. Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2016 Jan.

Abstract

Combining metformin with exercise has been proposed to improve glucose homeostasis. However, we primarily discuss evidence suggesting that metformin and other pharmacological agents/dietary supplements (e.g., statins, resveratol, or antioxidants) may in fact oppose exercise-induced benefits on insulin sensitivity and cardiometabolic health. We explore the novel hypothesis that attenuation of oxidative stress from exercise by these exogenous compounds blunts metabolic adaptation.
