Anti-Angiogenic Effect of Metformin in Mouse Oxygen-Induced Retinopathy Is Mediated by Reducing Levels of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor Flk-1

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of metformin on vascular changes in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) in mouse, and to elucidate the possible underlying mechanism.
