Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of empagliflozin on oxidative stress in patients with type 2 diabetes. The association is examined by comparing the difference in oxidative modifications before and after 14 days treatment with 25 mg empagliflozin compared to placebo treatment. The study is randomised, double-blinded, and placebo controlled. Each treatment group consists of 17 males with type 2 diabetes. Oxidative modifications are measured by urinary excretion of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine. A student t-test will be performed to compare the drug treatment with placebo. The results will be published in a peer-review journal.
