	abstract = {<p>In chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, the progression of the disease is characterized by stress oxidative, inflammation, and elevated levels of cholesterol. In mevalonate kinase deficiency, an auto-inflammatory disease, the correlation between inflammation and cholesterol levels is opposite. The metabolic pathway that underlies the production of cholesterol is the mevalonate pathway; it is also essential for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids involved in the control of several cell functions. This divergence of cholesterol levels, associated with these two inflammatory disorders, is probably due to a different etiology, pathogenesis, and progression.</p>},
