(author), van Lent, P.L.E.M. (author)Introduction: Both systemic inflammation and dyslipidemia contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) development and have been suggested as a possible link between metabolic disease and OA development.

Warmink, K. (author), Kozijn, A.E. (author), Bobeldijk, I. (author), Stoop, R. (author), Weinans, H. (author), Korthagen, N.M. (author)Objective. Obesity is one of the greatest risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA) and evidence is accumulating that inflammatory mediators and innate immunity play an important role. The infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) could be a potential local source of inflammatory mediators in the knee. Here, we combine surgical joint damage with high-fat feeding...article 2020

Kozijn, A.E. (author)This thesis aimed to investigate how metabolic overload contributes to the pathophysiology of knee OA. We explored the role of these independent yet intertwined processes using state-of-the-art lipidomic and cellular approaches in mouse models of diet-induced OA. Chapter 2 presents an overview of twelve preclinical studies in which mice received...doctoral thesis 2020

(author), Zuurmond, A.M. (author), Bobeldijk, I. (author), Weinans, H. (author), Stoop, R. (author)Objective. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels can be elevated in osteoarthritis (OA) patients. In addition to indicating systemic inflammation, it is suggested that CRP itself can play a role in OA development. Obesity and metabolic syndrome are important risk factors for OA and also induce elevated CRP levels. Here we evaluated in a human CRP ...article 2019

Obesity is associated with the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Although the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) could be involved in this association, due to its intracapsular localization in the knee joint, there is currently little known about the effect of obesity on the IFP. Therefore, we investigated cellular and...article 2017
