Red blood cell metabolomics identify ergothioneine as a key metabolite in DMARD-naïve rheumatoid arthritis and response to methotrexate

Abstract Using a new red blood cell (RBC) metabolite extraction protocol, we performed a metabolomic analysis on RBCs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated or not with methotrexate (MTX), with the two following objectives: to compare the RBC metabolic profiles of MTX-naïve RA patients and he...
