Steroids and Brain, a Rising Bio-Medical Domain: a Perspective.

abstract：Background:In adults, excess adiposity has been associated with low-grade, chronic inflammation and compromised bone health, but less is known about these linkages in children. The purpose of this study was to compare the circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines, adipokines, osteokines, and bone markers at rest and...
