Hypothesis-generating for vascular effects of antidiabetics; leaves open any role in human atherosclerosis or restenosis.
Do different classes of antidiabetic drugs (glyburide, pioglitazone, metformin) inhibit the proliferation of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells?
Pioglitazone demonstrated a significantly greater antiproliferative effect on rat aortic smooth muscle cells compared to glyburide and metformin, suggesting potential utility in mitigating atherosclerosis and restenosis.
Jacob D. Peuler (1996) studied this question.
