Abstract excerpt
Metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for osteoarthritis. Elevated leptin levels have been implicated as a potential cause of this association. Previous studies have shown that supra-physiological leptin concentrations can induce osteoarthritis-like changes in chondrocyte phenotype. Here, we tested the effects of leptin in the concentration range found in synovial fluid on chondrocyte phenotype. Chondrocytes...
