* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 vs. non-diabetic control (db/+ mice), Mann–Whitney U-test; ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 vs. vehicle-treated db/db mice; + p < 0.05, ++ p < 0.01 vs. with week 8, Wilcoxon test. EMPA, empagliflozin-treated db/db mice; LINA, linagliptin-treated db/db mice; EMPA+LINA, empagliflozin–linagliptin-treated db/db mice. UACR, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Data are presented as medians (min - max values).
