Description: | We determined that 1 mM metformin proved to be a threshold concentration at which impaired cell proliferation was evident at 72 hours, Heterochromatic nuclei were observed in metformin treated cells, indicative of senescence in cells previously exposed to 1 mM metformin. Morphologically, cells exposed to metformin are enlarged and flattened, consistent with induction of stress-induced senescence. |
