The results of Bax and iNOS expression recorded in the renal tissue of normal and treated groups. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 10. Rats of the normal control group received intraperitoneal saline. Different lowercase letters are significantly different (P < 0.05).

Groups	Bax expression (% of positive cells/HPF)	iNOS expression (% of positive cells/HPF)
Normal control	0.10 ± 0.10	0.2 ± 0.13
DXR-control (15 mg/kg, i.p)	2.6a ± 0.16	2.7a ± 0.15
DXR+SAX (10 mg/kg, p.o.)	1.7b ± 0.21	1.4b ± 0.16
DXR+VIL (10 mg/kg, p.o.)	1.1b ± 0.10	1.1b ± 0.10

Bax, Bcl-2 Associated X-protein; DXR, doxorubicin; iNOS; nitric oxide synthase; SAX, saxagliptin; VIL, vildagliptin.
