On the isolated perfused rat pancreas phenformin at high concentrations (10 mg/1, 50 mg/1 and 100 mg/1) provokes an increase of the insulin and lactate output in the effluent liquid. In no case is glucagon secretion modified by this substance. There exists a statistically significant correlations between the increase in insulin output and the increase in lactate output induced by phenformin.
