Aim of this study is to investigate the variation of BDNF, VEGF, TNF- α, IL-6, IL-1β, irisin and α- Klotho levels following acute exercise.

Methods: This study included 45 RA patients and 45 age and sex matched healthy controls. Blood samples from all subjects were taken and centrifuged before and immediately after the exercise intervention.
