Anti-gingipain antibodies and ACE1 activity in rheumatoid arthritis: associations with disease activity and cardiovascular comorbidity in a cross-sectional study
Together, anti-Kgp levels were weakly associated with disease activity and therapy, and lower ACE1 activity was associated with synthetic DMARDs use, which may reflect mucosal-immune and vascular-remodeling axes that could relate to comorbidity patterns and warrant prospective, pre-specified validation.
