| Title | Increased Levels of Lipid Oxidation Products in Rheumatically Destructed Bones o f Patients Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis  | ||
| Abstract | The new indicator for lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes -9-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadie-noic acid (9-HODE) -was used to investigate, w hether LPO processes are increased in destructed bone material of patients suffering from rheum atoid arthritis (R A) in comparison to surrounded non destructed bone material. The H O D E content in destructed bones ex ceeded that of non destructed ones of the same patient for a factor of about 3. In addition similar increases in leukotoxines and epoxy oleic acid in the destructed bone material were observed, indicating an increase of LPO processes in affected bone parts of pa tients. | ||
