Hierarchical clustering of kidney tissues from DB/DB mice and db-/db- mice treated and untreated with AOE. Kidney tissue was clustered according to the expression profiles of 23 differentially expressed miRNAs between db-/db- and DB/DB groups and db-/db- mice treated and untreated with AOE. The analyzed samples are reported in columns and the miRNAs are presented in rows. The miRNA dendrogram is shown on the left, and the sample dendrogram appears at the top. The color scale shown at the top indicates the relative expression level of miRNAs, with red representing a high expression level and blue representing a low expression level
