To determine a correlation between serum leptin levels, nitric oxide preceding a relapse and change in leptin and nitric oxide levels during exacerbation in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients.
This is an observational pilot study in patients with definitive relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis to determine whether there is a correlation in serum leptin levels and serum nitric oxide levels during a clinically observed increase in disease activity. Each subject will followed for 12 months while taking interferon beta-1a subcutaneous injections 3 times a week.
