Deficiency of adiponectin protects against ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in mice.

Deficiency of adiponectin protects against ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in mice.

Adipokine adiponectin (APN) has been recently reported to play a role in regulating bone mineral density (BMD). To explore the mechanism by which APN affects BMD, we investigated BMD and biomechanical strength properties of the femur and vertebra in sham-operated (Sham) and ovariectomized (OVX) APN...
