Red Meat Consumption and Rheumatic Diseases: A Comprehensive Narrative ReviewAbstract Dietary factors influence chronic inflammation and immune regulation, potentially affecting the onset and activity of rheumatic disease. Red meat, a major source of protein, heme iron, and saturated fat, has been linked to metabolic and inflammatory disorders, yet its role in rheumatic diseases remains unclear. To comprehensively evaluate the relationship between red-meat consumption and major rheumatic diseases—including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), gout, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and o [...] |
Selenium Supplementation in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Evidence from Controlled Clinical Trials and Mechanistic InsightsAbstract Selenium (Se) is a key micronutrient integrated into selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidases (GPx), which are responsible for crucial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Oxidative stress contributes to the immunopathogenesis and chronic joint damage of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), supporting interest in selenium supplementation as an adjunct therapeutic strategy. This review was based on a structured literature search of major biomedical databases and evaluated six controlled clin [...] |
