      Background The complement system plays an important role in pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and might be involved in accelerated atherogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The role of complement activation in response to treatment, and in development of premature CVD in RA, is limited. Therefore, we examined the effects of methotrexate (MTX) and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors ...

      Krabber er populær sjømat, men kan inneholde til dels store mengder miljøgifter. Innholdet er mange steder i Norge så høyt at inntak av brunmaten generelt bør frarådes.
    • Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors are associated with reduced complement activation in spondylarthropathies: An observational study

      <i>Background</i> - The complement system is involved in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, and might play a role in accelerated atherogenesis in spondylarthropathies (SpA). Hence, we examined complement activation in SpA, and its relationship to antirheumatic treatment, inflammatory and cardiovascular markers. <p> <p><i>Methods</i> - From PSARA, a prospective observational study, we examined ...
