Introduction<p>Metformin is one of the most widely used drugs to control diabetes type 2.

Description

However, there is no indication of pausing metformin treatment before an <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET scan. The aim of this study is to evaluate if metformin, in both patients and mice, can alter brain <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake.</p>Methods<p>In vivo<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET scans were carried out in male mice.

Animals were treated with saline or metformin (300 mg/kg) 10 min before <sup>18</sup>F-FDG or chronically (3 weeks) in drinking water. Separately, patients with non-pathological <sup>18</sup>F-FDG brain scans were distributed into two groups: metformin-treated (n = 12) and control patients (n = 27). PET images were structurally normalized to brain templates, corrected to whole-brain activity, and compared using SPM12.</p>Results<p>In mice, acute treatment induced a significant hypermetabolism in several brain regions including hippocampus (1.07 ± 0.07 vs 0.94 ± 0.08; p = 0.0002) and thalamus (1.17 ± 0.08 vs 1.00 ± 0.08; p = 0.0002).

Chronic treatment increased tracer uptake only in cortical regions. Similarly, treated patients showed hypermetabolism in the temporal lobe (1.03 ± 0.04 vs 0.97 ± 0.04; p < 0.0001) and white matter and lower uptake in frontal cortical regions (1.24 ± 0.04 vs 1.28 ± 0.06; p = 0.0165). Linear regression to HbA1c showed a negative correlation to <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake in frontal and parietal cortical subregions, but no correlation to temporal lobe uptake.</p>Discussion<p>Our results show that metformin treatment might modify <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake in temporal lobe structures.

On the other hand, lower uptake in frontal cortex might be attributable to the diabetic condition. Thus, new studies modifying the treatment regimen in diabetic patients prior to performing an <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET are warranted.</p>
