Figure 2From: Levels of adiponectin, a marker for PPAR-gamma activity, correlate with skin fibrosis in systemic sclerosis: potential utility as biomarker? Changes in adiponectin levels over time. Serum adiponectin levels were determined in 27 patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis at two time points separated by more than 10 months. Changes in adiponectin levels are correlated with contemporaneous changes of modified Rodnan skin score (MRSS).Back to article page
