Up to date the relationship between anti-CCP antibodies and oxidant anti-oxidant activity in patients with RA has not been elucidated in the previous studies. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect of anti-CCP antibodies in the circulation on whole blood serum and synovial fluid oxidant and anti-oxidant activity in patients with RA. Materials and Methods RA patients with anti-CCP n 25 and anti-CCP - n 24 were recruited into the study. All patients had a positive rheumatoid factor RF . The patients who were under treatment with only non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAID at the study time included in the study. Catalase CAT Glutathione peroxidase GSHPx Myeloperoxidase MPO activities and the levels of Malondialdehyde MDA were measured in whole blood serum and synovial fluid in both groups. Results .
