| Abstract | ||
| Background: Many studies have explain that adiponectin have an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis, but little is known about the relation between serum adiponectin and nodal osteoarthritis. Subjects and methods: Sixty Nodal osteoarthritis patients (male and female) and60 controls (male and female) included in the study; serum adiponectin and Bone mineral density (T-score) were measured in all subjects. Student t-test was applied to find out the significance of difference between two means. Results: Significant increase in the mean of serum adiponectin and significant decrease in the Bone mineral density (T-score) between Nodal osteoarthritis patients and control groups have been found. Also significantly increase in the mean of serum adiponectin between Nodal osteoarthritis patients according to Bone mineral density. Conclusion: The results of the current study suggest that adiponectin might have a role in the pathogenesis of NOA and osteoporosis. | ||
