When I took metformin, supposedly to live longer?

当我服胍时， 据说可以活得更久？

I've decided to stay away from metformin and rapamycin.

我决定远离胍和雷帕霉素。

Not surprisingly, metformin is also used off-label, probably more widely than rapamycin.

毫不奇怪，胍也被标签外，可能比雷帕霉素更广泛。

I'll just be very direct and say I do not take metformin.

我会非常接地说我不服胍。

One is metformin, which has been approved for use against type-2 diabetes; another is rapamycin, an immunosuppressant used in organ transplants.

其中之一是胍，已被批准治疗 2 型糖尿病；另一是雷帕霉素，一器官移植的免疫抑制剂。

The Targeting Ageing with Metformin (tame) trial will see if metformin helps prevent cardiovascular disease, cancer and cognitive decline; it will also test the hypothesis that it reduces all-cause mortality.

胍（tame）靶向衰老试验将观察胍是否有助预防心血管疾病、癌症和认知能力下降；它还将检验它降低全因死亡率的假设。

It's important to understand however that all of this is new research and that these products are not interchangeable with that being said, one of these products is metformin, an FDA-approved drug that treats type 2 diabetes.

然而，重要的是要明白，所有这些都是新的研究，这些产品也不能代替其中的某个产品，这些产品之一是胍，经美国食品及药物管理局批准的治疗2型糖尿病的药物。

A study published in 2014 showed that diabetes patients treated with metformin enjoyed a decreased mortality rate, not just compared with patients who were not treated with it, but also with healthy controls who were not given the drug.

2014 年发表的一项研究表明，接受胍治疗的糖尿病患者的死亡率不仅与未接受胍治疗的患者相比，而且与未接受该药物的健康对照组相比也有所降低。
