Comparison of Serum Nesfatin-1 and Visfatin Levels Between Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Healthy Controls
Even though elevated nesfatin-1 levels were reported in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) previously, the possible role of body mass index (BMI) was not excluded. The aim of the present study was to compare serum nesfatin-1 and visfatin levels between patients with RA and healthy controls who have normal BMI values (18.50.05). It seems that nesfatin-1 levels are significantly higher in RA patients compared to healthy peers. However, nesfatin-1 levels were not found related to disease activity.
