The Effects of Exercise on Some Biochemical Parameters in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

June 17, 2020 updated by: Songul Baglan Yentur, Gazi University

Background: RA may progress with articular and non-articular involvement.Depression prevelance is found to increase for RA patients according to healthy population and to be correlated with pain, decreased quality of life, fatigue and physical disability.BDNF level was found significantly lower in RA patients with depression. Aim of this study is to investigate the variation of BDNF, VEGF, TNF- α, IL-6, IL-1β, irisin and α- Klotho levels following acute exercise.

Methods: This study included 45 RA patients and 45 age and sex matched healthy controls. Blood samples from all subjects were taken and centrifuged before and immediately after the exercise intervention.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Study group
Aerobic exercise will be performed for a single session
Other: Aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise will be performed to all participants for a single session. Maximum heart rate was calculated for each subject (220 - age) and a heart rate monitor (Polar FT 100, China) will be used to follow subjects' heart rate during aerobic exercise.
Active Comparator: Control group
Aerobic exercise will be performed to healthy population for a single session
Other: Aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise will be performed to all participants for a single session. Maximum heart rate was calculated for each subject (220 - age) and a heart rate monitor (Polar FT 100, China) will be used to follow subjects' heart rate during aerobic exercise.
