Article Synopsis
- The study explores how boric acid and calcium fructoborate impact immune system cells, specifically Treg and Th17 cell populations, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- It involved blood samples from newly diagnosed RA and SLE patients and healthy individuals, exposing isolated mononuclear cells to varying doses of boric acid and calcium fructoborate to analyze effects on cell populations and cytokine levels.
- Results indicated that while high-dose boric acid improved Treg/Th17 ratios in healthy controls, it did not have the same effect in RA and SLE patients; however, both boron compounds showed a potential positive impact on inflammation markers in RA.
