['The use of abciximab (c7E3 Fab) or eptifibatide improves clinical outcomes in diabetics undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. These beta3 integrin inhibitors antagonize fibrinogen binding to alphaIIbbeta3 integrins on platelets and ligand binding to alphavbeta3 integrins on vascular cells. alphavbeta3 integrins influence responses to insulin in various cell types but effects in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) are unknown.'] Do eptifibatide and abciximab inhibit insulin-induced focal adhesion formation and proliferative responses in human aortic smooth muscle cells?
