In mice with 5/6 nephrectomy, linagliptin treatment significantly upregulated a thymosin β4-derived peptide in kidney proteomics.
In plain wordsIn mice with kidney damage, the drug linagliptin raised the body's own thymosin beta‑4 peptide in the kidneys.

Here we investigated the renal effects of the DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin in Glp1r-/- knock out and wild-type mice with 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx).
Mice were allocated to groups: sham+wild type+placebo; 5/6Nx+ wild type+placebo; 5/6Nx+wild type+linagliptin; sham+knock out+placebo; 5/6Nx+knock out+ placebo; 5/6Nx+knock out+linagliptin.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
