ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Although the exact etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unknown, there is increasing evidence that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidant/antioxidant imbalance are an important part of the pathogenesis of joint tissue injury.

Material and methods:
The activities of: manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) isoenzymes, catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were determined in blood and synovial fluid samples from 178 RA patients and from 27 healthy controls.

Results:
The RA patients showed increased antioxidant enzyme activities and MDA levels. Decreased synovial fluid viscosity was associated with a tendency for a changed antioxidant system with increased antioxidant enzyme activities, thereby suggesting a possible adaptation to ROS production in the blood and synovial fluid in RA patients.

Conclusions:
Correlating antioxidant enzyme activities and MDA levels to disease activity might provide further information about oxidative stress in RA pathogenesis.
