Excessively developed adipose tissue not only increases the mechanical load on the joints, but also participates in the maintenance of chronic low-grade inflammation through the production of adipokines, cytokines, hemokines, complement factors and hormones. Adipokines influence cells of synovial tissue, cartilage and bone, which in turn produce some adipokines locally, maintaining an inflammatory microenvironment intraarticularly. Adipokines, including leptin, adiponectin, chemerin, and resistin, regulate inflammatory immune responses in cartilage, also affecting synovial tissue cells and bone. In turn, chondrocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts produce some adipokines locally, maintaining an inflammatory microenvironment intra-articularly. Weight loss in OA can improve the patient's quality of life, physical function, lead to reduce pain, and slow or halt the progression of structural degenerative changes.
