The Serum Interleukin 1α Levels in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis And Correlation With Insulin Resistance

Abstract

Insulin resistance is a common pathological state in which target cells fail to respond to ordinary levels of circulating insulin. The cytokines are the subject of intense research for potential effects on insulin sensitivity. The aim of our study was to evaluate the correlation of the changes in serum IL-1α levels with glucose metabolism abnormality, such as insulin resistance, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, 36 subjects (22 women and 14 men, aged 51.5 ±17.1 years, ranging between 21-80, BMI 27.1±5.0 kg/m²) with varying degrees of disease activity and a control group of 20 healthy subjects matched by age, sex, and body mass index were evaluated. The fasting serum IL-1α and insulin levels were measured. HOMA–estimated insulin sensitivity was calculated. The fasting insulin levels, HOMA scores and serum IL-1α levels were significantly higher in all patients with rheumatoid artritis than in control subjects (14.7±6.7 vs. 8.7±1.9 µIU/ml, p<0.001 and 3.3±1.5 vs. 1.9±0.5, p<0.001 and 18.2±13.3 vs. 13.0±2.4 pg/ml, p<0.01 respectively). A correlation was found between the fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and IL-1α in the whole group. In our study, we showed that patients with rheumatoid arthritis have an altered IL-1α regulation, and there was a significant correlation between serum IL-1α levels and insülin sensitivity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
