Elevated Serum Levels of Arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidic Acid and Sphingosine 1-Phosphate in Systemic Sclerosis
<p>Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an often fatal disease characterized by autoimmunity and inflammation, leading to widespread vasculopathy and fibrosis. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive phospholipid in serum, is generated from lysophospholipids secreted from activated platelets in part b...
