口服补充锌剂,对类风湿性关节炎可能有帮助。这项研究,是根据滑膜在某些方面需要锌离子的假设,以及类风湿性滑膜炎病人的局部离子锌的水平降低而进行的。以前的研究表明类风湿性关节炎的离子锌减少,包括那些低血清锌的类风湿性关节炎的病人,而低血清锌也与骨致密度降低相关。此外,类风湿性关节炎病人的血清内组织胺含量低,而组织胺代谢是与锌代谢有密切连系的。 Oral zinc supplementation may help with rheumatoid arthritis. The study was based on the assumption that synovium would require zinc ions in some areas and the reduced level of local ionic zinc in patients with rheumatoid synovitis. Previous studies have shown reduced ionic zinc in rheumatoid arthritis, including those with low serum zinc and rheumatoid arthritis, whereas low serum zinc is also associated with decreased bone density. In addition, patients with rheumatoid arthritis serum histamine content is low, and histamine metabolism and zinc metabolism are closely linked.
