The role of body weight in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA)–previously considered the
sole factor in the association between obesity and OA–is being re-evaluated as the …

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the distribution of leptin, adiponectin and resistin between paired
serum and synovial fluid (SF) samples of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and to determine …
