Metformin protects against systolic overload-induced heart failure independent of AMP-activated protein kinase α2

Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α2 protects the heart against pressure overload-induced heart failure in mice. Although metformin is a known activator of AMPK, it is unclear whether its cardio-protection acts independently of an AMPKα2-dependent pathway. Because the role of AMPKα1...
