Compound Profiles

Metformin

Biguanide | AMPK Activator & Longevity Research

Metformin exerts its primary effects through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the cell's master energy sensor. AMPK activation triggers a cascade of downstream metabolic improvements: enhanced glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis, improved mitochondrial function, and increased fatty acid oxidation.

Survodutide

Dual GLP-1/Glucagon Receptor Agonist | Weight Loss & Diabetes

Dual agonism: GLP-1R reduces appetite and slows gastric emptying; GCGR increases energy expenditure and hepatic fat oxidation. EC50 0.

Combined Organ Load

Research Indications

FDA-approved for treatment of essential hypertension as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensives. Provides consistent 24-hour blood pressure reduction. Particularly effective for AAS-induced hypertension where elevated blood pressure is driven by RAAS activation and increased erythropoiesis. FDA-approved for reduction of cardiovascular morbidity in patients at high risk. The ONTARGET trial demonstrated non-inferiority to ramipril for the composite of cardiovascular death, MI, stroke, and hospitalization for heart failure in over 25,000 high-risk patients. Angiotensin II receptor blockade counteracts the pro-hypertrophic and pro-fibrotic effects of supraphysiological androgen levels on the myocardium. Preclinical and observational data support the use of ARBs to attenuate left ventricular hypertrophy in steroid users. Widely recommended in harm reduction protocols. Reduces intraglomerular pressure and proteinuria by blocking angiotensin II-mediated efferent arteriolar constriction. Slows progression of chronic kidney disease, particularly in patients with diabetic nephropathy or hypertensive nephrosclerosis. Relevant for AAS users where elevated blood pressure and NSAID co-use may compromise renal function. Telmisartan's partial PPAR-gamma agonism improves insulin sensitivity without the weight gain associated with full PPAR-gamma agonists like pioglitazone. May reduce the risk of new-onset diabetes in hypertensive patients. The metabolic benefit is particularly relevant for users of compounds that impair glucose tolerance (e.g., growth hormone, trenbolone).
