Background and Aims. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disorder of the synovial joint characterized by loss of articular cartilage, osteophyte formation, and alterations of subchondral bone. The purposes of this study were to measure adiponectin concentrations in plasma and synovial fluid of patients with knee OA and to analyze the correlation of adiponectin levels with disease severity.Methods. Seventy six OA patients (mean age 69.8 +/- 1.1 years) and 24 healthy controls (mean age 71.2 +/- 1.5 years) were enrolled in this study. OA grading was performed using the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) criteria by evaluating x-ray changes observed in anteroposterior knee radiography. Adiponectin levels in plasma and synovial fluid were determined by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results. Plasma levels of adiponectin were higher in OA patients compared to healthy individuals, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (2428.0 +/- 245.1 vs. 2030.3 +/- 399.4 ng/mL, p = 0.4). Adiponectin levels in plasma were remarkably higher with regard to paired synovial fluid (2428.0 +/- 245.1 vs. 301.3 +/- 44.9 ng/mL, p
