A critical update on the immunopathogenesis of Stiff Person Syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Low blood levels of antioxidants are associated with an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease. Lipophilic antioxidants are transported in lipoproteins, and hypolipidaemic therapy may therefore alter their blood concentrations. METHODS:The present randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over stud...
