Lack of independent relationship between plasma adiponectin, leptin levels and bone density in nondiabetic female adolescents

Abstract

The results suggest that plasma adiponectin and leptin concentrations are not related to the total-body BMD and BMC independent of the chronological age, BMI or FM, and Tanner stage in nondiabetic female adolescents, although they were highly correlated in simple correlation analyses. The biologic roles of adiponectin in bone still need further clarification.
