Open Access Abstract Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of vegan diet in patients with rheumatoid arthritis RA on blood lipids oxidized low-density lipoprotein oxLDL and natural atheroprotective antibodies against phosphorylcholine antiPCs . Methods Sixty-six patients with active RA were randomly assigned to either a vegan diet free of gluten 38 patients or a well-balanced non-vegan diet 28 patients for 1 year. Thirty patients in the vegan group completed more than 3 months on the diet regimen. Blood lipids were analyzed by routine methods and oxLDL and anti-PCs were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data and serum samples were obtained at baseline and after 3 and 12 months.
