Soluble Fas ligand inhibits angiogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:RA and CVD both have inflammation as part of the underlying biology. Our objective was to explore the relationships of GlycA, a measure of glycosylated acute phase proteins, with inflammation and cardiometabolic risk in RA, and explore whether these relationships were similar to those for persons without RA....
