We found that synovial fluid levels of VEGF and IL-6 were significantly higher in patients with OA than in patients with MI, and IL-10 was lower in patients with OA compared to MI patients (p<0.05).
In conclusion, increased apo A-1 and apo B levels are associated in knee OA, but the -460 T/C and +405 C/GVEGF polymorphisms are not associated with knee OA susceptibility.
