Impact of Metformin on the Warburg Effect on Cancer Cells
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 06
Abstract
It is complex to understand all the mechanisms by which tumor cells use for their survival. The aim of the present review is to propose the mechanisms by which metformin would be beneficial in the context of cancer through the inhibition of the Warburg effect. A literature review of the Warburg effect and the mechanism of action of metformin was carried out to determine a theoretical relationship between metformin consumption and inhibition of tumor cell metabolism. There are several mechanisms through which metformin could antagonize tumor cells. As authors, we consider it of vital importance to know these effects in order to extrapolate them to experimental studies and seek the maximum benefit for patients, using the resources we have to date.
