OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible correlation between bone mass and serum adiponectin levels, and the correlation between adiponectin levels and osteoporotic fracture risk in a prospective clinical trial. METHODS Postmenopausal non-diabetic 105 women (mean age 63.4+/-8.1; range 52 to 64 years) with hip fracture were evaluated. Of these 105 patients, 46 had trochanteric fractures, 24 had subtrochanteric fractures and 35 had femoral neck fractures. Anthropometric measurements were performed. Serum adiponectin level was measured by means of ELISA. Total bone mineral density and bone mineral content of lumbar spine and proximal femur were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). RESULTS Lumbar bone mineral density and proximal femoral bone mineral density were not correlated with serum adiponectin levels. Serum adiponectin level was not found to have any significant effect on bone mass. Serum adiponectin levels were not significantly different between the patients with osteoporotic fractures and those with non-osteoporotic fractures. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that serum adiponectin level is not associated with bone mass and osteoporotic fracture risk. Investigation of local adiponectin levels in bony tissue is needed to clarify the possible relation between adiponectin and bone mass, and risk of fractures associated with osteoporosis.

D015519 Bone Density The amount of mineral per square centimeter of BONE. This is the definition used in clinical practice. Actual bone density would be expressed in grams per milliliter. It is most frequently measured by X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY or TOMOGRAPHY, X RAY COMPUTED. Bone density is an important predictor for OSTEOPOROSIS.

D052242 Adiponectin A 30-kDa COMPLEMENT C1Q-related protein, the most abundant gene product secreted by FAT CELLS of the white ADIPOSE TISSUE. Adiponectin modulates several physiological processes, such as metabolism of GLUCOSE and FATTY ACIDS, and immune responses. Decreased plasma adiponectin levels are associated with INSULIN RESISTANCE; TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS; OBESITY; and ATHEROSCLEROSIS.
