RESUMO

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented crisis, and early on, it has been shown that diabetes is an important risk factor for complications and mortality in infected patients, as demonstrated by several studies. Moreover, hyperglycemia, regardless of whether patients have diabetes, is associated with poorer outcomes, which suggests that adequate monitoring and treatment of elevated glycemia in the hospital setting can improve patient outcomes. In patients with COVID-19, glycemic control may be impaired as a consequence of the infection itself (aggravating pre-existing diabetes and potentially precipitating new-onset diabetes), inflammation, or corticosteroid use-a well-established therapy to reduce COVID-19 complications, especially in the intensive care unit. This article reviews the link between diabetes and hyperglycemia, and COVID-19, with a brief review of potential mechanisms, along with emerging evidence on the effect of glycemic control on COVID-19 outcomes, especially in hospital settings.

RESUMO

Antecedentes: la metformina, fármaco económico y seguro, ha demostrado mejorar el pronóstico de varios tipos de cánceres. Objetivo: revisar los aspectos más relevantes de la relación entre la diabetes mellitus, la metformina y el cáncer. Desarrollo: la diabetes mellitus, en especial la tipo 2, se relaciona con algunos cánceres (mama, hígado, páncreas, ginecológico, vejiga, colon y recto), y en el sexo masculino, aumenta su recurrencia y la mortalidad. Los mecanismos responsables de esta relación no están del todo esclarecidos. La insulina y el factor de crecimiento similar a la insulina en un estado de hiperinsulinismo e insulinorresistencia, pudieran desempeñar un papel fundamental en el desarrollo de cáncer, así como otros factores de riesgo comunes a la diabetes mellitus y al cáncer (alimentación no saludable, sedentarismo, adicciones, edad, sexo, etnia y raza). La proteína liver kinase B1 se ha identificado como una proteína supresora tumoral, y al unirse con la metformina interrumpe el complejo 1 de la cadena respiratoria mitocondrial, y conduce a la disminución de la síntesis de trifosfato de adenosin, y al aumento del cociente proteína activada por mitógenos-trifosfato de adenosin en el espacio intracelular. Los quimioterápicos, esteroides y antiandrógenos, pueden afectar negativamente el metabolismo hidrocarbonado. Algunas drogas antihiperglucemiantes se han relacionado a cánceres específicos, aunque las evidencias son pobres, indirectas y controversiales. Conclusiones: la metformina pudiera utilizarse en la prevención y el tratamiento de algunos cánceres, y reducir su recurrencia y la mortalidad. Parece existir una relación entre cáncer y la diabetes mellitus, aunque muchos aspectos quedan por dilucidar, como el papel desempeñado por los fármacos anticancerígenos y antihiperglucemiantes utilizados en ambas entidades(AU)


Background: metformin, a safe inexpensive drug, has proved to improve the prognosis of several types of cancer. Objective: to review the most relevant aspects of the relationship among diabetes mellitus, metformin and cancer. Development: diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2, is related to some kinds of cancer (breast, liver, pancreas, gynecological, gallbladder, colon and rectum), and its recurrence and mortality increase in men. The mechanism behind this relationship is not fully clarified. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor under hyperinsulinism and insulin resistance conditions may play a fundamental role in developing cancer as well as other common risk factors for diabetes mellitus and cancer (unhealthy feeding, sedentary lifestyle, addictions, age, sex, ethnic group and race). Liver kinase B1 protein has been identified as tumor suppressor protein which binds the metformin to impair the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I and leads to reduction of adenosine triphosphate synthesis and to the increase of mytogen-activated protein-adenosine triphosphate quotient in the intracellular space. Chemotherapeutic, steroid and anti-androgen drugs may negatively affect the hydrocarbon metabolism. Some antihyperglycemic drugs have been related to specific cancers, although the evidence is still poor, indirect and controversial.Conclusions: metformin may be used to prevent and treat some types of cancer and to reduce recurrence and mortality. There seems to be some relationship between cancer and diabetes mellitus, even when many aspects remain to be ascertained such as the role played by anticancer and antihyperglycemic drugs intended to treat both diseases(AU)
