    • Collagen-induced arthritis as an animal model of rheumatoid cachexia 

      Alabarse, Paulo Vinicius Gil; Lora, Priscila Schmidt; Silva, Jordana Miranda de Souza; Espírito Santo, Rafaela Cavalheiro do; Freitas, Eduarda Correa; Oliveira, Mayara Souza de; Almeida, Andrelise Simões de; Immig, Mônica Luiza; Teixeira, Vivian de Oliveira Nunes; Filippin, Lidiane Isabel; Xavier, Ricardo Machado (2018) [Journal article]
      Background Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by chronic polyarticular synovitis and presents systemic changes that impact quality of life, such as impaired muscle function, seen in up to 66% of the patients. This can ...

    • Metabolomic biomarker candidates for skeletal muscle loss in the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model 

      Alabarse, Paulo Vinicius Gil; Silva, Jordana Miranda de Souza; Espírito Santo, Rafaela Cavalheiro do; Oliveira, Marianne Schrader de; Almeida, Andrelise Simões de; Oliveira, Mayara Souza de; Immig, Mônica Luiza; Freitas, Eduarda Correa; Teixeira, Vivian de Oliveira Nunes; Bathurst, Camilla L.; Brenol, Claiton Viegas; Filippin, Lidiane Isabel; Young, Stephen Peter; Lora, Priscila Schmidt; Xavier, Ricardo Machado (2021) [Journal article]
      There is no consensus for diagnosis or treatment of RA muscle loss. We aimed to investigate metabolites in arthritic mice urine as biomarkers of muscle loss. DBA1/J mice comprised collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and control ...

    • Prevalence of rheumatoid cachexia in rheumatoid arthritis : a systematic review and meta-analysis 

      Espírito Santo, Rafaela Cavalheiro do; Fernandes, Kevin Zebrowski; Lora, Priscila Schmidt; Filippin, Lidiane Isabel; Xavier, Ricardo Machado (2018) [Journal article]
      Background: Low muscle mass occurs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis without weight loss; this condition is referred asrheumatoid cachexia. The aim of the current study was to perform a systematic review with meta-analysis ...

    • Urinary metabolomic biomarker candidates for skeletal muscle wasting in patients with rheumatoid arthritis 

      Oliveira, Marianne Schrader de; Espírito Santo, Rafaela Cavalheiro do; Silva, Jordana Miranda de Souza; Alabarse, Paulo Vinicius Gil; Brenol, Claiton Viegas; Young, Steven; Xavier, Ricardo Machado (2023) [Journal article]
      Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects the joints, leading to chronic synovial inflammation and local tissue destruction. Extra-articular manifestations may also occur, such as changes ...
