Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold> The phenotypic transformation of arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is one of the key mechanisms in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. It is unclear whether metformin can inhibit the phenotypic transformation of VSMC. In this study, we observed the effect of metformin on the phenotypic transformation of VSMC in vivo and in vitro and its mechanism....
