Type I Diabetes mellitus (DM), or insulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common endocrine pathology among children and teenagers. The purpose of this study is to research the content of 1A melatonin receptor and antibodies to it in blood serum of children and teenagers. We examined 71 children and teenagers aged 1.9 to 17 years. We measured the content of 1A melatonin receptor and antibodies to it in hemolymph using an immunofluorescence assay test system (IFA). We found that the lowest levels of the 1A melatonin receptor were prevailing in children with a serious condition at the DM decompensation stage, median values were diagnosed in children in a state of moderate severity, and the maximum quantities are fixed in children against the background of the compensation of DM. The obtained data confirm the hypothesis about the possible involvement of the corpus pineale (epiphysis) in the pathogenesis of Type I Diabetes mellitus.
