Abstract

BACKGROUND: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is expressed in adipose tissue, macrophages, endothelial cells, and osteoblasts by parathyroid hormone administration. Circulating MCP-1 levels are positively correlated with the degree of obesity. However, whether circulating MCP-1 affects bone metabolism is unclear. Therefore, in this study, the association between circulating MCP-1 levels and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) based on menopausal status was assessed.
