Abnormal function of high‐density lipoprotein is associated with poor disease control and an altered protein cargo in rheumatoid arthritis
29 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the antiinflammatory function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to identify specific differences in HDL-associated proteins and enzymes that distinguish proinflammatory HDL from normal, antiinflammatory HDL. METHODS: We studied 132 RA patients. The antiinflammatory function of HDL was assessed by a cell-free assay, and proinflammatory HDL...
