Dap treatment partly reversed random blood glucose and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, but not body weight, in db/db mice. Mice were randomly allocated into the following groups: nondiabetic C57BLKS/J mice (n = 6); diabetic db/db mice treated with normal saline, Dap (1 mg·kg⁻¹), or voglibose (Vog; 0.6 mg·kg⁻¹) (n = 6 each group). (A) Body weight, (B) random blood glucose, (C) urinary albumin/creatinine ratio. Quantitative data are presented as mean ± SD. One‐way ANOVA with SNK test or Dunnett's T3 test was used for statistical analysis. *, P < 0.05 compared with the NC group, **, P < 0.01 compared with the NC group, #, P < 0.05 compared with the DM group, and ##, P < 0.01 compared with the DM group.
