    The biological activity of serum bacterial lipopolysaccharides associates with disease activity and likelihood of achieving remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

    Dysbiotic intestinal and oral microbiota have been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the mechanisms how microbiota could impact disease activity have remained elusive. The aim of...

    Milk prostaglandins and electrical conductivity in bovine mastitis

    Prostaglandin (PG) levels in milk samples from healthy and mastitic cows were determined by radioimmunoassay. In composite milk the PG levels were rather high both in healthy and mastitic samples, and the only...
