doi: 10.3390/biom11101535
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of one-year anti-TNF therapy on paraoxonase activity ( A ), arylesterase activity ( B ), as well as myeloperoxidase ( C ), leptin (D ), adiponectin ( E ), and chemerin ( F ) levels in RA and AS. Asterisks indicate significant changes ( p < 0.05).
Article Snippet: Among adipokines, serum chemerin (ng/mL), leptin (ng/mL) and adiponectin concentrations (μg/mL) were determined by a commercially available ELISA kits (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) [ ].
