The expression of 60S ribosomal proteins L28 (control/T1DM = 0.93) and L8 (control/T1DM = 0.85) were similar between control and T1DM groups, but were both significantly reduced in the T1DM/AFB1 group, by about 11- and 23-fold, respectively (S1 Table). This evidence concerns the gene RPL24P4 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
