Riassunto

Dopo un breve schema dei fattori che regolano i livelli di lattato nel plasma dei soggetti normali e diabetici, gli AA. riassumono la storia, il possibile meccanismo di azione e le applicazioni terapeutiche dei derivati della guanidina. Viene discussa la possibilità che questi farmaci possano incrementare il pericolo dell'acidosi lattica.

Resume

Après un bref schème des facteurs qui réglent les niveaux du lactate dans le plasma des sujets normaux et diabétiques, les AA. résument l'histoire, le possible mécanisme d'action et les applications thérapeutiques des dérivés de la guanidine. On discute sur la possibilité que ces médicaments puissent accroître la période de l'acidose lactique.

Resumen

Al cabo de breve esquema de los factores que regulan los niveles de lactato en el plasma de sujetos normales y diabéticos, los AA. resumen la historia, el modo de acción posible y las aplicaciones terapéuticas de los derivados de la guanidina. Se discute la posibilidad que estos fármacos puedan aumentar el período de la acidosis láctica.

Zusammenfassung

Nach einer kurzen Schematisierung der Faktoren, welche die Laktatspiegel im Plasma normaler Personen und Diabetiker regeln, fassen die AA. die Geschichte, den moeglichen Wirkungsmechanismus und die therapeutischen Anwendungen der Guanidin-Derivate zusammen. Es wird die Moeglichkeit der Steigerung der Azidose-Periode (Milchsaeure) durch diese Arzneimittel diskutiert.

Summary

After a brief outline of the factors regulating plasma lactate levels in normal and diabetic subjects, the AA. summarize the history, the possible mechanism of action and the therapeutic applications of the guanidine derivatives. The possibility that these drugs may increase the danger of lactic acidosis is discussed.
