Women with osteoarthritis have elevated synovial fluid levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and IGF-binding protein-3.

This study provides initial evidence that protein normalized IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 and leptin levels increase in synovial fluid of women but not in men with OA versus those without OA. PMID: 25120154 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
