PRRT2 and type 1 diabetes mellitus: In the present study we have addressed three major biochemical pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of hyperglycemia induced organ damage (the advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation pathway, the diacylglycerol-protein kinase C pathway (PKC), and the polyol pathway) in both testis and epididymis of the Ins2Akita mouse model of Type 1 diabetes (T1DM).
