Assessment of selected adipocytokines in obese women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

CONCLUSIONS: Higher leptin concentration and a positive correlation with BMI was confirmed in obese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. It was also demonstrated that BMD increases with growing BMI. No effect of obesity on the secretion of adiponectin or resistin in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis was found. From among the investigated adipocytokines, only leptin can be considered a bone tissue protective factor in postmenopausal women. PMID: 31566247 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
