The role of adipose tissue secretion in the creation and pain level in osteoarthritis.

CONCLUSION: The present study shows that aside to the well-known role of mechanical stress in OA pathogenesis (weight load), leptin, adiponectin, visfatin, and resistin, which represent the adi-pose tissue independent on the weight, may play a chemical role in OA pathogenesis. In addition, leptin and adiponectin may be involved in the pain levels among patients with OA. PMID: 32597150 [PubMed - in process]
