metformin and Cytomegalovirus Infections
metformin has been researched along with Cytomegalovirus Infections in 2 studies
Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.
Cytomegalovirus Infections: Infection with CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, characterized by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults.

" We also followed up a subset of male patients with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection (n = 47) who were not receiving antiviral treatment and for whom metformin was prescribed for insulin resistance, which tends to have a higher incidence and severity in coinfected patients." | 3.79 | Metformin: a cheap and well-tolerated drug that provides benefits for viral infections. ( Alonso-Villaverde, C; Aragonès, G; Beltrán-Debón, R; Camps, J; Espinel, E; Fernandez-Sender, L; Joven, J; Menéndez, JA; Pedro-Botet, J; Riera-Borrull, M; Rodríguez-Gallego, E; Rull, A, 2013) |
"Senescence-associated pathological cardiac hypertrophy (SA-PCH) is associated with upregulation of foetal genes, fibrosis, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), cardiac dysfunction and increased morbidity and mortality." | 1.72 | Bmi-1-RING1B prevents GATA4-dependent senescence-associated pathological cardiac hypertrophy by promoting autophagic degradation of GATA4. ( Chen, H; Gu, X; Jin, J; Li, Q; Liang, J; Mao, Z; Miao, D; Wang, R; Xie, C; Zhang, Y; Zhou, J; Zuo, G, 2022) |
