The levels of interleukin-13 (IL-13) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were examined and related to other Th1 - / Th2 - related cytokines , clinical manifestations and other markers.
To analyze the Th1 and Th2 paradigm of peripheral T helper cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The synthesis and degradation of poly (ADP-ribose) in this crude lysate , measured by the incorporation of 3H-labeled NAD into acid-precipitable counts , was compared in 18 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) , 10 patients with rheumatoid arthritis , and in 10 control patients without rheumatoid arthritis.
Thus under conditions that it enhances unscheduled DNA synthesis , nicotinamide causes marked effects on the metabolism of NAD + and poly (ADP-ribose).
