Association between Postmenopausal Osteoporosis and IL-6 、TNF-α: A Systematic Review and A Meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: The levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased in PMOP patients compared with controls, suggesting that persistent chronic inflammatory reaction exists in PMOP patients, which may be an important cause of aggravated osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Therefore, the level of IL-6 and TNF-α indexes may be of great significance for the early prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment of PMOP.PMID:38275059 | DOI:10.2174/0113862073262645231121025911
