Table 2 Correlations of the functional score (HAQ-Di) and disease activity score (DAS28-ESR) with the serum chemerin, the serum levels of other adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, resistin and visfatin), cytokines (IL-6, TNF-Ī±, IL-1Ī² and IL-18) and E-selectin levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients.
