Circulating leptin and its correlation with rheumatoid arthritis activity: a meta-analysis.
Young Ho LeeGwan Gyu SongPublished in: Journal of rheumatic diseases (2023)
This comprehensive meta-analysis demonstrates that the circulating leptin levels of RA patients are elevated, and provides compelling evidence of the significant relationship between leptin levels and the activity of RA. The findings of this research suggest that leptin plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of this disease.
