serum levels of tnf-α, tnf-αri, tnf-αrii and il-12 in treated rheumatoid arthritis patients
Authors
abstract
background: rheumatoid arthritis (ra) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease common in all races and ethnics. cytokines and cytokines receptors play an important role in ra pathogenesis and clinical presentation. objective: to investigate the serum levels of tnf-α, tnf-α ri, tnf-α rii and il-12 in ra patients and healthy control group. methods: in this study 43 patients fulfilling the revised criteria of american college of rheumatology (acr) for ra and 13 healthy cases as a control group were selected for tnf-α, tnf-αri, tnf-αrii and il-12 serum level analysis. the patients' age was 42.2 ± 22 and the age of healthy group was 40.1 ± 19.2 years (p=0.1). the pa-tients had an active disease with at least six swollen and ten tender joints. minimum esr was 28 mm at first hours of the morning. early morning stiffness in patients lasted longer than 45 minutes. results: our study showed that il-12 serum level of the pa-tients (91.69 ± 43.07 ρg/ml) and control (61.79 ± 40.08 ρg/ml) group was significantly different (p

Serum Levels of TNF-α, TNF-αRI, TNF-αRII and IL-12 in Treated Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease common in all races and ethnics. Cytokines and cytokines receptors play an important role in RA pathogenesis and clinical presentation. Objective: To investigate the serum levels of TNF-α, TNF-α RI, TNF-α RII and IL-12 in RA patients and healthy control group. Methods: In this study 43 patients fulfilling the revi...
full textElevated Serum Levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is accompanied by abdominal pain and intestinal discomforts. A line of evidence shows that the immune system plays important roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. Two main cytokines directing the immune system are IL-6 and TNF-α which may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of this disease. The present study aimed at investigating the serum lev...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Exercise training and supplementation have different effects on the immune system. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ginger supplementation and endurance training on serum levels of Interleukin 1 alpha (IL1α) and tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) in untrained young women. ...
full textTNF-α and TNF-β Gene Polymorphism in Saudi Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and -β are cytokines with a wide range of inflammatory, apoptotic and immunomodulatory activities. TNF-α promoter -308 G < A polymorphism has been reported to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with inconsistent results. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to elucidate a possible association of TNF-α (G-308A) and TNF-β (A+252G) polymorphisms w...
full textClinical Significance of Serum TNF-a and IL-6 Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Background: Several components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) facilitate its diagnosis, including abdominal obesity, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance. The production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) seem to be associated with MetS components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the serum levels...
