Metformin, a biguanide derivative, can lower excessive blood glucose levels, provided that insulin is present. Metformin does not stimulate insulin release. Glucose release from the liver is decreased, while peripheral uptake is enhanced. The danger of hypoglycemia apparently is not increased. Frequent adverse effects include: anorexia, nausea, and diarrhea.
At rest, the pathologically elevated flow resistance is compensated by a corresponding decrease in arteriolar resistance, ensuring adequate myocardial perfusion. During exercise, further dilation of arterioles is impossible. As a result, there is ischemia associated with pain.

 

It is poorly absorbed enterally and must be given parenterally to cause increased excretion of iron. Oral administration is indicated only if enteral absorption of iron is to be curtailed. Unwanted effects include allergic reactions.
The adrenal cortex (AC) produces the glucocorticoid cortisol (hydrocortisone) and the mineralocorticoid aldosterone. Both steroid hormones are vitally important in adaptation responses to stress situations, such as disease, trauma, or surgery. Cortisol secretion is stimulated by hypophyseal ACTH, aldosterone secretion by angiotensin II in particular.
