Anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha therapy improves insulin sensitivity in normal-weight but not in obese patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Stavropoulos-Kalinoglou, A.; Metsios, G. S.; Panoulas, V. F.; Nightingale, P.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kitas, G. D. (2012)Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR), a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, is common among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Inflammation, and especially tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF ... -

Stavropoulos-Kalinoglou, A.; Metsios, G. S.; Panoulas, V. F.; Douglas, K. M. J.; Nevill, A. M.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Kita, M.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kitas, G. D. (2009)Objectives: To assess the association of body mass index (BMI) with modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: BMI, disease activity, selected CVD risk factors ... -
Cigarette smoking associates with body weight and muscle mass of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional, observational study
Stavropoulos-Kalinoglou, A.; Metsios, G. S.; Panoulas, V. F.; Douglas, K. M. J.; Nevill, A. M.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Kita, M.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kitas, G. D. (2008)Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with altered metabolism leading to muscle wasting. In the general population, cigarette smoking is known to affect body composition by reducing fat and inhibiting muscle ... -
Underweight and obese states both associate with worse disease activity and physical function in patients with established rheumatoid arthritis
Stavropoulos-Kalinoglou, A.; Metsios, G. S.; Panoulas, V. F.; Nevill, A. M.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kitas, G. D. (2009)Obesity is characterised by low-grade inflammation and could potentially affect disease activity and severity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Body mass index (BMI), body fat (BF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ... -
What predicts obesity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis? An investigation of the interactions between lifestyle and inflammation
Stavropoulos-Kalinoglou, A.; Metsios, G. S.; Smith, J. P.; Panoulas, V. F.; Douglas, K. M. J.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kitas, G. D. (2010)Objective: To assess whether physical activity, diet or inflammation is a more important determinant of body mass index (BMI) and body fat (BF) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA). Methods: A total of 150 RA patients ...
