Changes in aortic oxidative stress (GSH in nmol/mg and MDA in µmol/g) at the end of study. The data were expressed as mean ± SEM.

Groups		Aortic MDA level (µmol/g)	Aortic GSH level (nmol/mg)
I	Normal group	1.9 ± 0.22	40.3 ± 2.4
II	Induced untreated group	9.0 ± 0.56*	20.9 ± 1.9*
III	Sitagliptin-treated group	2.9 ± 0.42†	30.3 ± 2.7†

MDA: malondialdehyde; GSH: glutathione.

^*p < 0.05 (means at the end of the study for the induced untreated group); ^†p < 0.05 (means at the end of the study for the sitagliptin treated group).
