This study was designed in order to estimate some immunological (IL-6 and C-Reactive Protein -CRP-), physiological (Resistin) and biochemical (Glutathione and Malondialdehyde) parameters of some patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Kirkuk city. The study involved (60) blood samples were divided into 2 groups: group one: adult normal healthy individuals as control group, group two: adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The results of this study found significant increase inpro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 concentrations at levels (P≤ 0.05) of second group in comparison with control group ; and there are significant increases in adipokineresistinconcentrations at levels (P≤ 0.05) of second group in comparison with control group; and there are significant increases in CRP concentrations at levels (P≤ 0.05) of second group in comparison with control group and there are significant decreases in glutathione (GSH) concentrations at levels (P≤ 0.05) of second group in comparison with control group, and there are significant increases in malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations at levels (P≤ 0.05) of second group in comparison with control group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
