Abstract
Clinical studies evaluating the role of leptin and adiponectin on bone metabolism had shown conflicting results, and data about the effect of anticatabolic drugs on these adipokines are scarce. Our aims were to determine adiponectin and leptin levels in osteoporotic postmenopausal women and their relationship with bone mass and bone turnover and to analyze changes on adiponectin and leptin levels after treatment with raloxifene or alendronate.
