认知障碍是以记忆、思维、判断等高级认知功能进行性减退为特征的临床综合征,其病因病机复杂,尚缺乏特效药物干预。二甲双胍作为2型糖尿病的一线降糖药物,除可降低血糖外,其还可改善认知障碍。研究显示,二甲双胍干预CI的作用机制主要包括调节β淀粉样蛋白与tau蛋白代谢、降低胰岛素抵抗、抑制神经炎症、提高突触可塑性、改善线粒体功能障碍、调节肠道菌群及脂质代谢等。未来研究需通过多学科交叉协作,充分整合多组学数据,结合先进技术进一步揭示其效应机制。
Cognitive impairment (CI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive decline in advanced cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, and judgment. Its etiology and pathogenesis are complex, and there is currently a lack of specific drug interventions. Metformin, as a first-line hypoglycemic drug for type 2 diabetes, not only lowers blood glucose levels but also improves CI. This article reviews and summarizes the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of metformin in improving Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes cognitive impairment, cognitive impairment after chemotherapy, in order to provide novel insights and approaches for the treatment of CI-related diseases. Studies have shown that the mechanism by which MET intervenes in CI mainly includes regulating
β
-amyloid protein and tau protein metabolism, reducing insulin resistance, inhibiting neuroinflammation, improving synaptic plasticity, improving mitochondrial dysfunction, regulating gut microbiota and lipid metabolism, etc. Future r
esearch needs to be conducted through interdisciplinary collaboration, fully integrating multiple omics data, and combining advanced technologies to further reveal their mechanisms of effect.
