OBJECTIVE: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive disease including four stages, where gut microbiome is associated with pathogenesis. We aimed to investigate stage-specific roles of microbial dysbiosis and metabolic disorders in RA.
METHODS: We investi...
The relationship among the gut microbiome, global fecal metabolites and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not been systematically evaluated. In this study, we performed 16S rDNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based nontargeted metabolomic profiling ...
As a systemic chronic inflammatory disease, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by progressive inflammation, bone and cartilage destruction, leading to significant disability, reduced lifespan, and increased mortality. The clinical use of conventional medications including nonsteroidal ant...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are systemic autoimmune diseases associated with increased cardiovascular risk and metabolic alterations. We applied 1H-NMR spectroscopy to profile lipoproteins and metabolites in women with RA, SLE, and healthy controls. Both RA an...
