AIMS: Diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) is a prevalent diabetic complication thought to progress from overactive (OAB) to underactive (UAB) bladder. Previously we found OAB at 15 weeks in the Akita mouse, a genetic model of Type 1 diabetes. The first aim of this study assesses bladder function at 30 weeks to assess progression. In addition, inflammation triggered by the NLRP3 inflammasome is implicated in DBD....
