The researchers also wanted to know if metformin could restore cognitive function. At first they didn't notice a positive link, but when they looked deeper, they realized that the drug affected women differently than men. As the lead author on the study, Cindi Morshead, said,"When we first looked at the data, we did not see the benefit of the metformin treatment...Then we noticed that adult females tended to do better than the males.
This result comes at an important time, as the scientific community reflects on the sex bias that exists in medical research. Historically, research studies were done only on men because it was thought that female sex hormones would skew results. As Morshead explains,"The thinking was that we're going to study males because everything you need to know is found in the male brain, and then the female brain just complicates things with hormones.
