Figure 1 Knee OA scores in leptin receptor mutant Zucker fatty rats (A) and F344BN rats undergoing chronic systemic leptin treatment (B). Obesity in the absence of leptin signaling and increased systemic leptin in the absence of obesity were both sufficient to induce site-specific increases in spontaneous knee OA (∗p<0.05).
