[Profile of proinflammatory cytokines in type 1 diabetes mellitus]
Abstract:
The study involved 70 patients with type 1 diabetes who were under medical care in the clinical city hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: group I included patients with severe form of diabetes with complications and group II included patients without complications. The cytokine profile in the diabetes mellitus patients was investigated. The study showed that all indices of proinflammatory cytokines in patients of both groups were higher than in control healthy subjects. The positive correlation between the level of proinflammatory cytokines in blood and severity of the course of disease was revealed.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...
