Metformin: a cheap and well-tolerated drug that provides benefits for viral infections.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of metformin for alleviating insulin resistance in HIV‐infected patients is explored and the relevance of the ataxia‐telangiectasia mutated (ATM) rs11212617 variant in the clinical response is assessed with the rationale that met formin modulates cellular bioenergetics in an ATM‐dependent process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of the predictive markers amphiregulin and epiregulin mRNAs during long-term cetuximab treatment of KRAS wild-type tumor cells

TL;DR: Unlike KRAS mutations, which are informative of unresponsiveness to CTX solely in mCRC, hypothesis-generating data suggest that expression status of AR and EPI mRNAs might be evaluated as dynamic predictors of response in KRAS WT patients receiving any CTX-based therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Val1483Ile in FASN Gene Is Linked to Central Obesity and Insulin Sensitivity in Adult White Men

TL;DR: Adult white men with the Ile 1483 variant of the FASn gene seem protected from developing central obesity through decreased adipose tissue FASN activity.
