Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do synovial concentrations of the angiogenic peptides bFGF and VEGF discriminate rheumatoid arthritis from other forms of inflammatory arthritis?
Answer: Both serum bFGF and VEGF concentrations were increased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients treated with steroids had lower synovial fluid bFGF concentrations. Synovial fluid levels of bFGF and VEGF were elevated but could not be used to distinguish rheumatoid arthritis from other forms of inflammatory arthritis.
Output (English): no
