		<title>Antibodies Linked to Cardiovascular Disease Increase in Patients with Active Lupus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ScienceDaily.com — A study by researchers in Australia and the United Kingdom suggests that autoantibodies to fat binding proteins significantly increase in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with active disease. This increase in anti-apolipoprotein (anti-Apo A-I), anti-high-density lipoprotein (anti-HDL), and anti-C-reactive protein (anti-CRP) may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis in SLE patients, placing them [...]]]></description>
