The joint, a redox sensitive microenvironment?–an hypothesis.
Scand J Rheumatol Suppl Vol. 101 pp. 131-6
Medline® DATE: 1995 Abstract Antioxidant depletion in a normal adult increases the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (1). We discuss how redox processes “control” the inflammatory reaction and suggest that the synovium is a peculiarly “redox-sensitive” microenvironment. This discussion will be illustrated by a zonal model of tissue injury to represent the diseased synovium.

Article Notes:
Article speaks of arthritis as directly correlated to oxidative stress — bodily stress that is otherwise combatted by anti-oxidants.
