Abstract
Objective: To determine and compare the plasma nesfatin-1 (a satiety peptide) levels of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and healthy control subjects.
Method: Plasma nesfatin-1 levels of 31 patients with OCD (18 females, 13 males) and 28 healthy control subjects (16 females and 12 males) similar to the study group in terms of weight, age and gender were measured in this study. Severity of obsessions and compulsions both in OCD patients and control subjects were determined by using Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). ELISA method was used to measure plasma nesfatin-1 levels.
Results: Median plasma nesfatin-1 levels in patients with OCD and healthy control subjects were 4.61 ng/ml (min-max: 1.28-8.11) and 2.0 ng/ml (min-max: 0.11-4.98) respectively. The observed difference in plasma nesfatin-1 levels between two groups was statistically significant (p<0.001). No statistically significant correlation was observed between Y-BOCS scores and plasma nesfatin-1 levels either in the study group or in the control subjects. (r=0.205, p=0.27 and r=0.335, p=0.071 respectively).
Conclusion: Increased plasma nesfatin-1 level observed in patients with OCD suggests a potential role to nesfatin-1 in anxiety states besides its previosly known anorexigenic effects.

Key words: Nesfatin-1, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, satiety peptide, appetite.



Obsessif Kompulsif Bozukluk Hastalarında Artmış Plazma Nesfatin-1 Düzeyi

Özet
Amaç: Obsesif kompulsif bozukluk (OKB) tanısı olan hastalarda ve sağlıklı kontrollerde plazma nesfatin-1 (bir tokluk peptidi) düzeylerinin tespit edilmesi ve karşılaştırılması.
Metod: OKB tanısı olan 31 hastanın (18 kadın, 13 erkek) ve ağırlık, yaş ve cinsiyet açısından benzer 28 sağlıklı kontrol bireyin (16 kadın, 12 erkek) plazma nesfatin-1 düzeyi ölçülmüştür. OKB hasta grubunda ve kontrol grubunda obsesyon ve kompulsiyonların şiddeti Yale-Brown Obsesyon Kompulsiyon Ölçeği (Y-BOKÖ) kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Plazma nesfatin-1 düzeyi ölçümü için ELİSA yöntemi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: OKB tanısı olan hastalarda ve kontrol grubunda ortanca plazma nesfatin-1 düzeylerinin sırasıyla 4.61 ng/ml (min-max: 1.28-8.11) ve 2.0 ng/ml (min-max: 0.11-4.98) olduğu bulunmuştur. Gruplar arasında plazma nesfatin-1 düzeyi açısından gözlemlenen fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0.001). Hem hasta grubunda hem de kontrol grubunda Y-BOCS skorları ve plazma nesfatin-1 düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon saptanmamıştır (sırasıyla r=0.205, p=0.27 ve r=0.335, p=0.071).
Sonuç: OKB tanısı olan hastalarda gözlenen plazma nesfatin-1 düzeyi yüksekliği, bu peptidin önceden bilinen anoreksijenik etkilerinin yanı sıra anksiyete durumlarında da potansiyel bir rolünün olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Nesfatin-1, obsesif kompulsif bozukluk, anksiyete, tokluk peptidi, iştah.
