    Background: Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are the most known mechanisms in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) pathophysiology, which is still not fully elucidated. In this study, we evaluated oxidative status by determining intracellular reduced/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) homeostasis and serum thiol/disulfide (SH/SS) homeostasis in RA patients. Methods: A total of 152 RA patient and 89 healthy controls were included in the study. RA patients were subdivided according to disease activity score-28 (DAS-28) as active RA and remission RA. Intracellular GSH/GSSG and serum SH/SS homeostasis parameters were analyzed. Results: Median (1st-3rd quartile values) SS/SH and GSSG/GSH percent ratio levels were significantly higher in RA patients (6.94 (6.02-8.54) and 69.8 (44.05-85.29); respectively) compared to controls (4.62 (4.15-5.46) and 34.9 (22.43-62.2); respectively) (p < 0.05 for all). SS/SH and GSSG/GSH percent ratio levels were significantly higher in active RA patients when compared to remission RA patients and controls (p < 0.05 for all). SS/SH and GSSG/GSH percent ratios were significantly increased in remission RA group compared to controls (p < 0.05 for all). DAS28 scores were positively correlated with SS/SH and GSSG/GSH percent ratios (rho = 0.259 and 0.296; respectively). Conclusions: These findings suggest that active intracellular and extracellular thiol group oxidation process might play a role in RA pathogenesis and further work in these areas may be warranted to show potential value of evaluating intracellular GSSG/GSH and serum SH/SS balances together in disease monitoring.

    Thiol-disulphide homeostasis in patients with general anxiety disorder and panic disorder
    (2019) Şahin, Esra Kabadayı; Turan, Gökçen; Neşelioğlu, Salim; Can, Serdar Süleyman; Atagün, Murat İlhan
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic thiol-disulphide homeostasis as a novel oxidative stress parameter in newly diagnosed and medication-naive general anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder (PD) patients. Method: Medication-naive patients with GAD (n=21) or PD (n=23) and healthy individuals (n=23) were enrolled. Patients were administered a sociodemographic form, Beck Depression Inventory, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. Routine biochemical parameters, native thiol, total thiol, and disulphide parameters were measured in all patients and healthy individuals. Results: The native thiol levels of the GAD and PD groups were found significantly lower than those of the control group (p<0.001 and p=0.03, respectively), whereas the disulphide levels and disulphide/native thiol ratios of both patient groups were significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.001 and p=0.011, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference between the GAD and PD groups with regard to thiol and disulphide levels. Conclusion: Oxidative stress is considered to be one of the molecular changes underlying the pathogenesis of GAD and PD. This study showed that dynamic thiol-disulphide homeostasis was disturbed due to an increase in oxidants and a decrease in antioxidants in GAD and PD patients, suggesting that antioxidant replacement interventions might be an option in the treatment of these disorders.
