| Popis: | IntroductionAdipocytokines secreted by adipose tissue participate in bone metabolism; leptin is one of the circulating peptides secreted by adipose tissue.Aim of the workTo determine the serum levels of leptin in obese postmenopausal women in order to correlate these levels with bone mineral density and bone biochemical markers to find out the role of leptin in bone metabolism.Patients and methodsThis was a cross-sectional study which included 37 obese postmenopausal women with body mass index (BMI) >30kg/m2. Thirty-seven lean postmenopausal women with BMI |
