Metformin reverts aortic calcifications and elastin loss induced by an experimental metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and accumulation of arterial calcifications (ACs). Metformin (MET) inhibits this transdifferentiation in vitro. Here, we evaluate the in vivo efficacy of oral MET to reduce AC in a mo...
