| Summary: | Recently, it has been found that systemic metabolic disorders are associated with the onset and progression of various joint diseases. Although osteoarthritis(OA)is mainly a degradative condition of the articular cartilage induced by mechanical stress, there is a growing body of data demonstrating the involvement of metabolic factors including fat metabolism. Recent studies have revealed that adipokines including adiponectin and leptin are associated with inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis. A better understanding of these relationships may lead to new strategies to treat or prevent joint disease such as OA. |
