The study included 100 women with rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed by a specialist doctor, their ages ranged between 30-80 years. With 50 healthy women of the same age representing a control group, Blood samples were used for examine the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), and serum which used to measure Rheumatoid Factor (RF), Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptides (ACCP), irisin, Also, a liver function test, as well as inflammatory Parameters. The results of our study showed a significant decrease (p≤0.05) in the level of irisin in patients compared to the control group.
