Retrospective study showing shorter ICU stay with metformin, animal study showing that metformin minimized lung damage in an ARDS model, and in vitro study showing increased mitochondrial function and decreased TGF-β-induced fibrosis, apoptosis, and inflammation markers in lung epithelial cells. Currently there is only an abstract available.
2 In Vitro studies support the efficacy of metformin [Miguel, Parthasarathy].

Studies conducted on sperm samples offer a perspective limited to the outcome of age- and oxidative stress-related mechanisms that affect spermatogenesis, completely ignoring what happens to the precursor germ cells of spermatozoa. Germ cells reside inside the seminiferous tubules of the testicles and experience complex differentiation processes that are sensitive to free radicals and other ROS. Using the D-Galactose mouse model of accelerated aging, we studied free radical production in different types of germ cells, peritubular myoid cells, and also in Sertoli cells, the nurse cells for spermatogenesis. We think that the single-cell reporting capacity of diamond magnetometry applied for the first time to the complex scenario of the male germ line is attractive for the field of Reproductive Medicine and highlights the versatility of nanodiamonds as nanoscale biosensors. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.03.184 PP IX_89 * Corresponding author BCL-XL, A MITOCHONDRIAL PROTEIN INVOLVED IN SUCCESSFUL AGING AND FRAILTY PREVENTION Progressive respiratory failure is the primary cause of death in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It is the final outcome of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), characterized by an initial exacerbated inflammatory response and ultimate tissue scarring. Energy balance may be crucial for the recovery of clinical COVID-19. Hence, we asked if two key pathways involved in energy generation, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/acetylCoA carboxylase (ACC) signaling and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) could be beneficial. We tested the drugs Metformin (AMPk activator) and Baicalin (Cpt1A activator) in different experimental models mimicking COVID-19 associated inflammation in lung and kidney. We also studied two different cohorts of COVID19 patients that had been previously treated with Metformin. These drugs ameliorated lung damage in an ARDS animal model, while activation of AMPK/ ACC signaling increased mitochondrial function and decreased TGF-β-induced fibrosis, apoptosis and inflammation markers in lung epithelial cells. Similar results were observed with two new indole derivatives IND6 and..
