HYDERABAD: Scientists of the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) and CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) here have come up with certain findings when they investigated Metformin's role in Atheroscelrosis.
Metformin, a widely used anti-diabetic drug all over the world, is the first-line drug of choice to manage Type 2 diabetes especially in obese and overweight people and even those with normal kidney function. Metformin primarily controls blood glucose levels by inhibiting the glucose production by the liver. Recently, metformin has been shown to slow the aging process and increase the life span.
