Возможно моделирование тяжести течения РА у мышей путем введения экзогенного FGF-21. Все эти факты свидетельствуют о важной роли FGF-21 в прогрессировании данного заболевания. Известно, что концентрация FGF-21 в сыворотке крови положительно коррелирует с возрастом. Учитывая связь между FGF-21, метаболическими изменениями и наличием хронического воспаления, можно предположить наличие определенных корреляций у пожилых пациентов с РА. Цель исследования: Изучить взаимосвязи между уровнем FGF-21 сыворотки крови и клинико-лабораторными показателями у пожилых пациенток с ревматоидным артритом. Материалы и методы: Под нашим наблюдением находилось 88 женщин с верифицированным диагнозом РА, средний возраст пациенток составил 67,3&amp;plusmn;4,8 (60,7-74,5) лет. Активность болезни по DAS 28 составила 3,52&amp;plusmn;1,14 (3,28-3,76) баллов. Базисная терапия больных РА соответствовала клиническим рекомендациям. Результаты: Была выявлена положительная корреляция между системным уровнем FGF-21 и весом, а также ИМТ (p&amp;lt;0,0001), отрицательная корреляция с длительностью течения РА (&amp;rho;=-0,22; p=0,041). Также обнаружена взаимосвязь между уровнем FGF-21 и наличием сахарного диабета 2-го типа (p=0,027). Других корреляций с коморбидными состояниями, в том числе с наличием остеопороза и остеопоретических переломов, выявлено не было. Выявлено, что уровень FGF-21 в сыворотке крови был достоверно выше у пациенток, принимающих глюкокортикостероиды на момент исследования (p=0,001). Заключение: Дальнейшее изучение значения FGF-21 у пациентов с РА открывает широкие перспективы для использования данного миокина в качестве лекарственного средства или терапевтической мишени</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Background: Systemic FGF-21 levels are known to be associated with obesity and inflammatory cytokines, and with reduced functional status in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is possible to model the severity of RA in mice by administering exogenous FGF-21. All these facts indicate an important role of FGF-21 in the progression of this disease. It is known that the concentration of FGF-21 in blood serum is positively correlated with age. Given the association between FGF-21, metabolic changes, and the presence of chronic inflammation, certain correlations can be hypothesized in older RA patients. The aim of the study: To study the relationship between serum FGF-21 levels and clinical and laboratory parameters in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and methods: We observed 88 women with a verified diagnosis of RA; the average age of the patients was 67.4&amp;plusmn;6.9 (61.7-73.4) years. Disease activity according to DAS 28 was 3.52&amp;plusmn;1.14 (3.28-3.76) points. Basic therapy for patients with RA complied with clinical recommendations. Results: A positive correlation was found between the systemic level of FGF-21 and weight, as well as BMI (p&amp;lt;0.0001), and a negative correlation with the duration of RA (&amp;rho;=-0.22; p=0.041). A relationship was also found between the level of FGF-21 and the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.027). There were no other correlations with comorbid conditions, including the presence of osteoporosis and osteoporetic fractures. It was found that the level of FGF-21 in the blood serum was significantly higher in patients taking glucocorticosteroids at the time of the study (p=0.001). Conclusion: Further study of the significance of FGF-21 in patients with RA opens up broad prospects for the use of this myokine as a drug or therapeutic target</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>фактор роста фибробластов</kwd><kwd>FGF-21</kwd><kwd>инсулинорезистентность</kwd><kwd>метаболический синдром</kwd><kwd>ревматоидный артрит</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>fibroblast growth factor</kwd><kwd>FGF-21</kwd><kwd>insulin resistance</kwd><kwd>metabolic syndrome</kwd><kwd>rheumatoid arthritis</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>Список литературы</title><ref id="B1"><mixed-citation>Whitham M, Febbraio M.
