## Abstract Earlier reports showed that the balance between receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB ligand (RANKL) and its decoy‐receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of metastatic osteolysis induced by neuroblastoma cells. In this study, we investigated whether
## Abstract ## Objective To test the hypotheses that 1) proinflammatory cytokines affect osteoprotegerin (OPG) and soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (sRANKL) production and therefore the OPG and sRANKL levels differ in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in comparison with heal
