Are serum leptin concentrations decreased and correlated with disease severity in age-related macular degeneration : a preliminary study?
Leptin seems to be a possible newly associated factor in the course of ARM and may be involved in the lipid composition of the macular lesions, especially in late-ARMD.
These results show that lumbar BMD values are not associated with prevalent VFs in GC-treated male patients, suggesting that bone fragility in male GC users is affected by bone quality rather than by BMD.
