metformin and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

metformin has been researched along with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in 6 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.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A disorder with chronic or recurrent colonic symptoms without a clearcut etiology. This condition is characterized by chronic or recurrent ABDOMINAL PAIN, bloating, MUCUS in FECES, and an erratic disturbance of DEFECATION.

"Metformin was reported to improve these gastrointestinal (GI) changes."5.91Imeglimin prevents visceral hypersensitivity and colonic hyperpermeability in irritable bowel syndrome rat model. ( Ishioh, M; Miyagishi, S; Nozu, T; Okumura, T; Takakusaki, K, 2023)
"Metformin attenuated the visceral allodynia and increased gut permeability in animal IBS models."3.91Metformin inhibits visceral allodynia and increased gut permeability induced by stress in rats. ( Kumei, S; Miyagishi, S; Nozu, R; Nozu, T; Okumura, T; Takakusaki, K, 2019)
"Drug-induced gastrointestinal disorders can mimic conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and, hence, recognition can prevent unnecessary investigations and treatment."2.50Drug-induced gastrointestinal disorders. ( Gibson, PR; Lubel, J; Nandurkar, S; Philpott, HL, 2014)
"Metformin was reported to improve these gastrointestinal (GI) changes."1.91Imeglimin prevents visceral hypersensitivity and colonic hyperpermeability in irritable bowel syndrome rat model. ( Ishioh, M; Miyagishi, S; Nozu, T; Okumura, T; Takakusaki, K, 2023)
"Metformin pretreatment (a) reduced visceral hypersensitivity to colorectal distension, immobility time and enhanced sucrose consumption; (b) decreased urine lactulose/mannitol ratio and sucralose output; (c) inhibited the dilation of tight junction and prevented claudin-4 translocation; (d) inhibited mast cell activation and downregulated the expression of IL-6, IL-18, tryptase, PAR-2, and ERK activation; (e) inhibited claudin-4 phosphorylation at serine sites and interactions between clau-4 and ZO-1."1.51Metformin prevents colonic barrier dysfunction by inhibiting mast cell activation in maternal separation-induced IBS-like rats.
