AbstractMetformin, in conjunction with its antihyperglycemic effect, which in itself reduces the susceptibility to various infections and the severity of the disease, may provide protection to patients with COVID-19 through its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, cardio- and vasoprotective effects. The mechanisms of beneficial action of metformin in patients with diabetes and SARS-CoV-2 infection may be determined by: decreased body weight, especially in the elderly; impairment of AMPK expression of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE2); reduced insulin resistance; improving the stability of ACE2; balancing the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS); ACE2 receptor modulation; glucose level control; inhibition of the cytokine storm (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α); increasing the level of anti-inflammatory IL-10; modulation of the composition of the gut microbiota; reducing the number of neutrophils and improving the ratio between neutrophils and lymphocytes; protection of diabetic patients from infection (inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway; prevention of thrombus formation; prevention of lung damage and fibrosis; decreased acidity of endosomes and lysosomes).
Metformina, concomitent cu efectul antihiperglicemic, prin care reduce susceptibilitatea la diferite infecţii şi severitatea bolii, poate oferi protecţie pacienţilor cu COVID-19 prin efectele antivirale, antiinflamatoare, imunomodulatoare, cardio- şi vasoprotectoare. Mecanismele acţiunii benefice a metforminei la pacienţii cu diabet zaharat (DZ) şi infecţie cu SARS-CoV-2 pot fi determinate de: micşorarea masei corporale, în special la vârstnici; afectarea prin calea AMPK-azei a expresiei receptorului enzimei de conversie a angiotensinei 2 (ECA2); reducerea rezistenţei la insulină; îmbunătăţirea stabilităţii ECA2; echilibrarea sistemului renină-angiotensină-aldosteron (SRAA); modularea receptorului ECA2; controlul nivelului glucozei; inhibarea furtunii citokinice (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α); creşterea nivelului IL-10 antiinflamatoare; modularea compoziţiei microbiotei intestinale; reducerea numărului de neutrofile şi ameliorarea raportului dintre neutrofile şi limfocite; protejarea pacienţilor diabetici de infecţie (inhibarea căii PI3K/AKT/mTOR; preîntâmpinarea formării trombilor; prevenirea leziunilor pulmonare şi a fibrozei; scăderea acidităţii endozomilor şi lizozomilor).
