Figure 2. mRNA expression of BNP in uremic rat heart.

Figure 2

Gene expression of the marker of left ventricular dysfunction BNP was significantly increased in rats after initiation of uremia. Treatment with linagliptin at a dose of 7 µmol/kg significantly reduced mRNA expression of BNP in uremic rat heart. Values are given in mean ± SEM. N = 7 sham-operated rats, 5 5/6N rats and 12 5/6N linagliptin-treated rats. *p<0.05; ***p<0.001.
