metformin and Skin Diseases

metformin has been researched along with Skin Diseases in 10 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.

Skin Diseases: Diseases involving the DERMIS or EPIDERMIS.

"Although the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis is not exactly known, it is thought that immune activation has prominent roles in pathogenesis."5.62Secukinumab and metformin ameliorate dermal fibrosis by decreasing tissue interleukin-17 levels in bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis. ( Akar, ZA; Celik, C; Dagli, AF; Etem, EO; Karatas, A; Koca, SS; Oz, B, 2021)
"Metformin is an effective and safe adjuvant in the therapeutic scheme of various inflammatory dermatoses, skin neoplasms, endocrinology-related dermatosis, melasma, skin aging and wound healing processes."5.22[The role of metformin in the treatment of dermatological diseases: A narrative review]. ( Arbués-Espinosa, P; Cruañes-Monferrer, J; García-Gil, MF; Martínez-Cisneros, S; Monte-Serrano, J; Villagrasa-Boli, P, 2022)
"Although the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis is not exactly known, it is thought that immune activation has prominent roles in pathogenesis."1.62Secukinumab and metformin ameliorate dermal fibrosis by decreasing tissue interleukin-17 levels in bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis. ( Akar, ZA; Celik, C; Dagli, AF; Etem, EO; Karatas, A; Koca, SS; Oz, B, 2021)
"Metformin (MET) has anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects, but its effect on the in vivo pathogenesis of scleroderma remains unknown."1.51Metformin attenuates bleomycin-induced scleroderma by regulating the balance of Treg/Teff cells and reducing spleen germinal center formation.
