Metformin attenuates Ang-II-induced proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy in VSMCs. a EdU staining was used to detect the proliferation of VSMCs in five groups. b, c Flow cytometry was used to analyze the apoptosis and cell cycle of VSMCs. d Transmission electron micrographs demonstrate autophagosomes inside the cytoplasm of the VSMCs. e The expression of LC3B was detected by immunofluorescence
