Abstract

Serum lipid peroxidation was measured in 17 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and the titers of lipid peroxidation were much elevated in classical RA patients compared with definite or probable RA. Serum hemolytic complement was measured in 18 RA patients, our studies indicate that activity of RA is reflected by a little elevated serum hemolytic complement rather than a depressed titer, and complement activation in sero positive RA is depressed compared with sero negative RA. The change of content of serum lipid peroxidation in 6 RA patients and hemolytic complement titer in 7 were pursued during 6 months, but they were not always parallel with the clinical course.
