* [[2-Deoxy-D-glucose|2-Deoxy-<small>D</small>-glucose]] can initiate [[Ketogenesis|ketogenesis]]{{pmid|21747957}}, makes rats gain slightly less body weight than control animals and leads to a significant reduction in body temperature and fasting serum insulin levels, thereby simulating certain effects of calorie restriction.{{DOI|10.1089/rej.1.1998.1.327}}

* [[Metformin]], an orally administered [[antidiabetic]], reduces cancer incidence in rats and slows the progression of the disease. It also reduces the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and extends lifespan.{{pmid|20304770}}

* [[Glipizide]], like Metformin, is an orally administered [[antidiabetic]] that helps control blood sugar levels. It works by partially blocking the potassium channels of the beta cells of the [[Islets of Langerhans]].{{pmid|6369967}}
