Figure 1From: Adiponectin associates with markers of cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis and induces production of proinflammatory and catabolic factors through mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways Adiponectin correlates with biomarkers of OA. Scatterplot showing positive correlations between plasma adiponectin and biomarkers of osteoarthritis (OA), serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) (A) and plasma matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) (B). N = 35 OA patients.Back to article page
