Popis: WOS: 000184293800010 PubMed ID: 12713258 Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) develops as a result of autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta-cells. The aim of this study was to explore possible associations between serum levels of cytokines, IL-1, IL-2, TNFalpha and INFgamma and metabolic parameters in children with type 1 DM and their non-diabetic siblings to determine whether these cytokines could be indicators of disordered immune regulation. The study population consisted of 41 children with type 1 DM, 32 non-diabetic siblings, and 28 healthy controls. Children with DM were divided into three subgroups: 1) newly diagnosed patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (ND + DKA), 2) newly diagnosed patients without DKA (ND - DKA), and 3) previously diagnosed patients (PD). The highest serum IL-1alpha level was found in the ND - DKA group, which was significant compared to both the ND + DKA (p
