Soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (sRANKL) to osteoprotegerin ratio is designated as a bone metabolism equation in many rheumatologic disorders and would be modified with fish oil (FO) supplementation.
Eighty-three females with rheumatoid arthritis were divided randomly to 40 and 43 patients treated with (1 g/day) or without FO for 3 months accompanied with conventional drugs, respectively. Osteoprotegerin, sRANKL, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) serum levels were measured before and after treatment.
Serum levels of osteoprotegerin increased, although sRANKL, TNFalpha and sRANKL/osteoprotegerin ratio decreased with FO therapy. A significant positive correlation was observed between sRANKL/osteoprotegerin ratio and TNFalpha levels (r=0.327, p=0.040) in the FO-treated group.
FO could decrease the inflammatory response by lowering of serum TNFalpha levels and sRANKL/osteoprotegerin ratio.
在许多风湿性疾病中,核因子-κB 配体可溶性受体(sRANKL)与护骨素的比值被指定为骨代谢方程,并可通过鱼油(FO)补充进行修正。
83 名女性类风湿关节炎患者被随机分为两组,40 名和 43 名患者分别接受(每天 1 克)或不接受 FO 治疗 3 个月,同时接受常规药物治疗。在治疗前后测量了护骨素、sRANKL、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNFalpha)的血清水平。
FO 治疗后,血清护骨素水平升高,尽管 sRANKL、TNFalpha 和 sRANKL/护骨素比值下降。在 FO 治疗组中,sRANKL/护骨素比值与 TNFalpha 水平呈显著正相关(r=0.327,p=0.040)。
FO 通过降低血清 TNFalpha 水平和 sRANKL/护骨素比值来减轻炎症反应。
