Could metformin reduce structural heart disease?
ASCI member @trivedilab & team @UMassChan find epigenetic changes in nuclear DNA aberrantly activate mitochondria, causing aortic valve stenosis, with improvement by metformin in mice: https://t.co/Vf2GmHSsDx
The image shows elevated expression of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) (green) in vimentin-positive valvular interstitial cells (red) from human stenotic aortic valves, with nuclei (blue).
