Abstract AR

التهاب المفاصل هو التهاب مزمن يصيب المفاصل.

إن الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو بيان تأثير بعض العناصر التي تعمل كمضادات أكسدة كالزنك، النحاس و المنغنيز على خطر الإصابة بالتهاب المفاصل، أجريت الدراسة على 24 مصاب من الذكور فقط تتراوح أعمارهم بين 33-40 سنة مع 20 شخص من نفس الجنس و الفئة العمرية كمجموعة سيطرة.

بينت النتائج حدوث انخفاض معنوي في مستويات الزنك، النحاس و المنغنيز لدى المرضى مقارنة بالأصحاء حيث كانت قيم (p-value) هي (0,00، 0,00 و 0,001) على التوالي.

Abstract EN

Arthritis is a chronic an inflammation of the joints, the aim of this study was to explain the effect of antioxidant trace elements(zinc, copper and manganese ) on risk of arthritis.

This study included 24 patients (men only) aged 33-40years and 20 apparently healthy men were used as a control group .The results showed significantly decrease in a zinc, copper and manganese concentration in arthritis patients compared with healthy control P-value(0.00, 0.00 and 0.001) respectively .
