metformin and Aortic Diseases

metformin has been researched along with Aortic Diseases in 5 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Aortic Diseases: Pathological processes involving any part of the AORTA.

"Metformin activates a conserved AMPK-ATF1-M2-like pathway in mouse and human macrophages, and results in highly suppressed atherogenesis in hyperlipidaemic mice via haematopoietic AMPK."8.02Metformin directly suppresses atherosclerosis in normoglycaemic mice via haematopoietic adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase. ( Boyle, JJ; Carling, D; Cave, L; Haskard, DO; Hyde, G; Mason, JC; Moestrup, SK; Seneviratne, A, 2021)
